Manly had moved to Chapel Hill, NC in the 1950s, but it was in the 1970s he began to collect around him young writers like David Drake, Karl Edward Wagner and others.
He also produced a series of Sherlock Holmes SF tales with his son, Wade Wellman 1969-1975.
Retired from active writing, he could dabble where his interests lie. He wrote new horror fiction for small press magazines like Whispers and Shadows. In the mid-1970s Manly moved away from books to short story writing again, with a Sword & Sorcery series in Swords Against Darkness starring Kardios of Atlantis. 1973-4 saw the Silver John movie, The Legend of Hillbilly Johnstarring Hedges Capers to mixed reviews.
1963 saw the first collection of Silver John stories at Arkham House with Who Fears the Devil? The next would be ten years later with Worse Things Waiting at Karl Edward Wagner’s Carcosa Press. The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, under Ed Ferman, was his publication of choice. Manly Wade Wellman held the course as a writer of juvenile historicals and adult non-fiction but occasionally sold a new story to the SF magazines. They have been expanded with new letters, links and information. If you missed Part 4 and the other sections, check them out.
