A. Graham Boak

(???? – )

A. Graham Boak, often known as Gray Boak, was a UK fan active in the late 1960s and the 1970s. In the 1960s, he was a member of the Bristol and District SF Club (which he joined with its fourth meeting in November 1965) and was an editor of its clubzine, Badinage; he later lived in Hertfordshire and was a member of the Herts. Science Fiction and Fantasy Group. He organized Blackpool Fan Con and helped run Briscon.

In the mid-1970s, he was involved in several fan feuds, and left fandom, disillusioned, as a result, giving away his fanzine collection.

The Astral Leauge's publications carried references to the Bearer Of All Knowledge (BOAK) as a jab at him.
