Wodehouse. He made his first professional short story sale that same year, a science-fiction tale titled "Welcome, Martians!", credited to S. A. Lombino. Soon after his initial sale, Lombino sold stories under the pen names Evan Hunter and Hunt Collins.

(He did confirm that Hunt Collins was derived from Hunter College. ) Lombino legally changed his name to Evan Hunter in May 1952, after an editor told him that a novel he wrote would sell more copies if credited to Evan Hunter than to S. A. Lombino. Thereafter, he used the name Evan Hunter both personally and professionally.". Fine in Near Fine dust jacket .
