"Edson McCann" was a pseudonym for co-authors Frederick Pohl & Lester del Rey.
Additional info from ISFDB
Frederick Pohl, one of the two authors of The Space Merchants, said much later that “No sensible science-fiction writer tries to predict anything.” What he was doing, he asserted, what SF writers were doing or ought to be doing, was to see if the present could be affected by their visions in such a way that the terms for good things happening in the future, or bad things avoided, could be set or at least encouraged. And certainly the Swiftian strain of satire that was strong in 1950s SF, though largely forgotten now, had exactly that aim. It was a warning given to the present in the guise of a pretend future. It was disposable, but not negligible.
-- John Crowley
SUPER SCIENCE STORIES (vol. 5) #4 (September, 1949). Cover by Lawrence Stevens.
Popular Publications was one of the largest publishers of pulp magazines. Among its titles were the long-running Argosy, as well as The Spider, G-8 and His Battle Aces, Operator #5, and The Mysterious Wu Fang.
Super Science Stories was Popular Publications entry into the field of science fiction. However, they had no staff and almost no budget. The company hired a 19 year-old Frederick Pohl, science fiction fan and future Hugo Award- and Nebula Award-winner, and science fiction grand master, as its editor.
Pohl tried hard to compete with the other science fiction magazines, but the low page rate he was forced to work with (half a penny per word) didn't attract the established writers. Instead, he bought manuscripts that were rejected by the other mags. He also published stories from fellow science fiction fans, such as Isaac Asimov, as well as filling out issues with stories he wrote himself under various pseudonyms.
The magazine was published from March, 1940 to May, 1943 when paper shortages due to World War ll, and not-so-great sales, led Popular to cease publication of Super Science Stories.
Science fiction became a hot market again in 1948, and Popular revived the magazine in 1949. The pulp magazine format, on the other hand, was dying out. Super Science Stories lasted another three years, from January, 1949 to August, 1951, before shutting down again, this time for good.
