Jack Bludis has been kind enough to remind me that I've been around so long that I'm now part of Mystery Trivia. He writes:
"While attending Bouchercon and a segment called 'The History of the Short Story,' they flashed a photo of the cover of an old Espionage magazine.
"On the cover in bold print was the name 'Ed Hoch.'
"Others whose names were shown on the cover were Ron Goulart and some upstart by the name of Michael Bracken.
"(On the cover, also, was an automatic pistol with a nude on the grip.)"
He's referring to the February 1985 issue, which contained "The Only Good Red," the second of three stories Espionage published of mine (they accepted a fourth but ceased publication before using it). That was about seven years after my professional debut with a children's fantasy in Young World (November 1978).
