Stanley Mullen (1911 - 1974) was an American artist, short story writer, novelist and publisher. He studied writing at the University of Colorado at Boulder and drawing, painting and lithography at the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center where he was accepted as a professional member in 1937. A series of his paintings of Indian ceremonial dances is part of the permanent collection of the Denver Art Museum. Mullen worked as assistant curator of the Colorado State Historical Museum during the 1940s. Mullen wrote over 200 stories and articles in a variety of fields. He became involved with the small press publisher New Collector's Group (co-founded by Paul Dennis O'Connor and Martin Greenberg) before starting his own small press publisher, Gorgon Press, in 1948. Gorgon Press published only one book - Mullen's short story collection Moonfoam and Sorceries and was also the imprint under which 11 issues of Mullen's fanzine, The Gorgon, were issued.
