(???? – )
Bruce Kidd was a fan and fanartist from Romford in Essex active in the 1950s and 1960s. He was staff artist for Burroughsania and Archive.
Michael Moorcock introduced him in Burroughsania in a passage written in all-caps, spared to readers here:
The future editor of this page is named Bruce Kidd and sometimes goes under the alias of 'Melvin'. He is a Mad and Panic fan which as any ful nows are E .C. comic books and feature satire-like strips ... all the critics rave about. (i.e. 'Melvin of the Apes' (sacrilege)) He is also a Ray Bradbury fan and has a goodly store of this writer's works. He thinks Tarzan is the best series ever written around one character[1].
In a later issue Moorcock hailed his contributing artists as 'two of fandom's best illustrators – Bruce Kidd and Arthur Thomson'[2].
Kidd attended Cytricon II where Archie Mercer first met his own staff artist: 'He must be a fan – he wore a beanie.'[3].
He was reported to be collaborating with Jim Linwood on a fanzine to be called Millennium but nothing ever came of it.[4].
