He was an author in Germany who left when Hitler came to power, and he went to the U.S., where he helped write the script for The Invisible Man Returns in 1940, and that led to many very successful screenplays, including some classic horror/sci-fi movies. Some of his movies include: Donovan's Brain, The Wolf Man, Earth vs. the Flying Saucers, and Son of Dracula. He passed away in 2000 at the age of 98. Important Added Info: Note that this item has been personally autographed (signed) by Curt Siodmak! Note that this is the first American edition from 1942 in a facsimile dust jacket (see below). We have pictured the front cover, the title page, and the interior page that shows the publishing information, and one or more interior 2-page spreads. Note that this item was consigned to us by an individual who owned a company that made movies and videos with famous celebrities in the 1980s and 1990s. The owner of the company would have the celebrities sign items from their famous films, and he also had correspondence with many famous celebrities which he saved. In addition, he would sometimes ask celebrities he came in contact with if they had signed items from other stars that they would sell to him, and he purchased a number of items that way. He also would purchase unsigned items from the famed Larry Edmunds Bookshop in Los Angeles or from other reputable Hollywood book stores and poster shops (to have the celebrities sign), and while he was doing that he would also purchase some of their signed items. So all of these autographed items we are auctioning were either obtained in person, obtained from celebrities who obtained them in person, or obtained from reputable Hollywood book stores, and we feel certain that the autograph(s) on this item is authentic! Condition: very good. The book has slight staining in the top right corner. It did not have a jacket, and someone purchased a "facsimile dust jacket", which they put around the book (it looks identical to the original dust jacket, except it has "Facsimile Dust Jacket" on the inside flap, and it is of course in excellent condition. PLEASE DO NOT BID ON THIS BOOK THINKING IT HAS ITS ORIGINAL DUST JACKET, BECAUSE IT DOES NOT! Learn More about condition grades
