Raymond A. Palmer was a science fiction fan-turned-editor, most known for editing Amazing Stories. In 1930 he co-edited The Comet, the first known science fiction fanzine.

In 1928, Palmer founded the International Scientific Association. In 1935, the ISA was flagging to the point that he handed it over to William S. Sykora, who absorbed it into his own International Cosmos Science Club.
