(August 1, 1910 – July 30, 1969)
John Harper “Jack” Wiedenbeck, a fanartist, lived in the Slan Shack in Battle Creek, MI, from 1943–45. He was one of the members of Nova Press, publishing Nova, and was a member of FAPA and the Order of Dagon. He attended all the Michiconferences.
Harry Warner labeled him as the first fakefan, one who likes to hang around with fans but who has no real interest in science fiction or fandom, yet he seems to have done plenty of fanac, contributing to many fanzines. He did highly acclaimed airbrushed cover art. He also belonged to the N3F.
