The FUTURIAN

The FUTURIAN
   UK FANZINE (1938-40), ed from Leeds by J. Michael Rosenblum. A continuation of the Leeds SCIENCE FICTION LEAGUE's Bulletin (1937), The Futurian was a small printed publication featuring fiction, poems andarticles by leading sf fans of the day, including Arthur C. CLARKE, Ralph Milne FARLEY, John Russell FEARN, David H. KELLER, Frederik POHL andWilliam F. TEMPLE. Other important pre-WWII UK fanzines were John CHRISTOPHER's The Fantast, Jonathan BURKE's and Charles Eric MAINE's Satellite, Donald Mayer's Tomorrow (incorporating Walter GILLINGS's SCIENTIFICTION) and Maurice K. Hanson's NOVAE TERRAE (later NEW WORLDS). Under the title Futurian War Digest (1940-45), Rosenblum's fanzine became a focal point for UK fandom during the WWII years when sf and amateur publishing faced considerable difficulties. It was revived as The New Futurian 1954-8.
