(???? – )
Trevor Briggs was a fan from Chingford, London active in the 1980s. With Alan Ferguson, he edited the fanzine Second-Hand Wave, described by Rob Hansen in Then as:
With its stylish Pete Lyon covers and contents that owed little to the fandom of the 1970s, Second-Hand Wave was to become in some ways the flagship fanzine of those fans who had come into fandom in the wake of Faircon '78 and Seacon '79[1]. It would see seven issues in all, the final one appearing in Autumn 1982. Perversely, each and every issue was numbered 42.
Second-Hand Wave would come second in the 'Best British Fanzine' category of the Ansible Fan Poll for 1980/1981 and would likely have placed in the 'Best British Fanzine Single Issue' too were it not for its peculiar numbering.
He was listed in as the 'business manager' or 'advertising manager' of the BSFA's journal Vector from #84 (November 1977) to #100 (December 1980). He interviewed Peter Nicholls in Matrix #14 (October 1977).
