Douglas Pabst

Douglas Pabst.

Douglas Pabst was the editor of Incredible Tales magazine during the 1950s in New York.

In his role as editor, Pabst oversaw the writing staff of the magazine and its in-house illustrator. His responsibilities included setting the pay rate for the writers and selecting which story would be featured on the cover each month. He was also in the position of enforcing the decisions of the magazine's publisher, a fact which brought him into conflict with Benny Russell when the magazine refused to publish the latter's story about a black captain of a futuristic space station. (DS9: "Far Beyond the Stars")

Pabst was played by actor Rene Auberjonois.

Apocryphia

In the novelization of the episode, Pabst had been receiving stories from Russell long before the later worked for Incredible Tales. The story that led him to hire Russell featured a partially robotic alien race, and it was Pabst who gave Russell the opening line of the story - Resistance is futile".
