(Did you mean 1970s Sunderland fan Jim Marshall?)
(???? – )
Jim Marshall was a UK fan from Gateshead in County Durham active in the 1950s and 1960s, and to a degree into the 1970s. He was a sometime editor of Gestalt, the clubzine of the North East Science Fiction Society. He was a member of the Cytricon in 1955 and attended Cytricon II in 1956.
He may have been a fan artist as Archie Mercer described meeting 'Jim Marshall, the slim cartoonist – or am I thinking of Hal Kennedy'[1], a statement that's annoyingly ambiguous as to which one he met and which was the cartoonist.
He is listed in Ron Bennett's Directory of Science Fiction Fandom for 1955–1957, drops out, and then reappears in the 1966 edition, the year he attended the Yarcon, although that was also the year that Ron Bennett in Skyrack #92 (September 1966) was wondering what had happened to him. He also attended SCI-CON 70, the 1970 Eastercon. There are two Jim Marshalls on the membership list for Tynecon, the 1974 Eastercon, so he was presumably one of them and Jim Marshall from Sunderland was the other.
