Sci-Fi's No. 1 Fanboy, Forrest J Ackerman, Dies at 92 - TIME

リンク: Sci-Fi's No. 1 Fanboy, Forrest J Ackerman, Dies at 92 - TIME.

Fan as in fanatic. Fan as in fancier. Fan as in fantasy lover. Forrest J Ackerman, who died Thursday at 92 of a heart attack in Los Angeles, was all these things and many more: literary agent for such science fiction authors as Ray Bradbury, Isaac Asimov, A.E. van Vogt, Curt Siodmak and L. Ron Hubbard; actor and talisman in more than 50 films (The Howling, Beverly Hills Cop III, Amazon Women on the Moon); editor of Famous Monsters of Filmland magazine and creator of the Vampirella comic book franchise. But each of these trades was an exponent of his educated ardor for science fiction, fantasy and horror, and his need to share that consuming appetite.

アッカーマン死去・・・・・。安らかな眠りを祈る。
A・C・クラークも野田宇宙大元帥も今年亡くなったし、ガキのころのあこがれのSF界の偉人は、ほとんど死んでしまったなあ。
小松左京や筒井康隆は長生きしてくれることを望む。
