Larry Stark

(August 4, 1932 –)

A New York and Boston fan active in the 1950s and '60s, Larry Stark published a variety of fanzines and apazines. He was one of the Balcony Insurgents and coined the term "Sercon Faanfiction".

He was a member of The Cult and OMPA. He was an early EC comics letterhack. He lived in the Ivory Birdbath in Cambridge, MA.

“Larry Stark was a good editor -- much better than I, then....” recalled Ted White in Science Fiction Five Yearly in 1976.

His Wikipedia entry describes his later career as a theater critic in Boston. He founded New England Theater Mirror; the current editors say he's still attending the theater. He was also one of the founders of Independent Reviewers of New England (IRNE).
