Kenneth Johnson

(September 22, 1922 – )

Kenneth 'Ken' Johnson was a UK fan from Stoke-on-Trent active in the 1940s and 1950s. He was a member of the British Fantasy Society (BFS), the British Fantasy Library (BFL), the Science Fantasy Society (SFS), the Futurian Society of Sydney and the N3F.

Johnson was a subscriber to Futurian War Digest from mid-1942 and a member of the Stoke-on-Trent Science Fiction Club. He joined the BFS towards the end of the year and the army in 1943.

In 1949 he was the Northern Area secretary ('From the "Midlands Area" to the Scottish border') for the SFS.

Johnson attended the Whitcon in 1948 and in the Whitconzine was described as 'North-country fan, who had come down without making arrangements for the night'. Hopefully he was better prepared for later trips to conventions including Festivention in 1951, Coroncon in 1953, and Loncon in 1957.

He is listed in the Directory of Anglo-Fandom of 1945 and Ron Bennett's Directory of Science Fiction Fandom for 1955 but not in subsequent editions.
