Senn, Steve
Entry updated 12 September 2022. Tagged: Artist, Author.
Working name of US illustrator and author Oscar Steven Senn (1950- ); he also publishes under his full name. Though he has concentrated on works for younger readers, he is of some interest for his use of specifically sf tropes in the Spacebread sequence, comprising the Space Opera feats of a spacefaring cat; singletons include Ralph Fozbek and the Amazing Black Hole Patrol (1980) (see Black Holes) and Loonie Louie Meets the Space Fungus (1991). Given their context, the sf premises in these books are presented playfully. [JC]
