Stone (publisher)

Stone was the owner of Stone Publications, a publishing company based in New York City in the 1950s. One of the magazines published by Mr. Stone was Incredible Tales of Scientific Wonder.

In 1953, Mr. Stone disliked Benny Russell's story about Benjamin Sisko, an African-American lead character and the commander of an American space station. Despite Russell's modification to the story by making it a dream of the character, Mr. Stone had the entire magazine pulped. Stone also instructed Douglas Pabst to fire Russell, although Russell quite instead, telling Pabst that he and Stone could go to hell. 

Kay Eaton also found herself having run-ins with Pabst and Stone over her female characters. By 1955, Eaton had begun to hate Stone and Pabst because of their sexism.
