A(ubrey) Vince(nt) Clarke (1922-1998), often known as Vin¢ Clarke, was a well-known British science fiction fan. He first made contact with fandom in 1938, and was active as a fanwriter and editor from 1948, including ''Science Fantasy News''. He shared the fannish ''Epicentre'' flat in London with Ken Bulmer (with whom he collaborated on some sf novels). He was the first winner of the TransAtlantic Fan Fund (TAFF) in 1954, but was unable to take the trip. He was active in running conventions, including the 1957 Worldcon, ''Loncon I''. In 1958 he helped inspire the formation of the British Science Fiction Association. He dropped almost all contact with fans in 1960 after his wife Joy left him for fellow fan Sandy Sanderson, and did not return to fandom until 1982. He was Fan Guest of Honour at the 1995 Worldcon, ''Intersection''. In his later years he remained active in fandom, maintaining an extensive library of Science Fiction fanzines, co-editing the fanzine ''Pulp'' and contributing to work documenting UK fannish history. He died on 29 November 1998 from pneumonia following a long illness. ==External links== *(''Obituary by SFWA'' ) *(''Obituary in Ansible'' ) *(''Obituary in Plokta'' ) *(''Clarke's Review of the 1995 Worldcon'' ) *(Listing in ''Who's Who in SF Fandom'' ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Vin¢ Clarke」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
