Dave Ish

(1937 –)

David Ish began publishing the fanzine Sol in 1951. He was part of the group of Seventh Fandomites who attended HEcon.

Ish attended the 1953 Worldcon, Philcon II, where he helped on the convention newsletter, the Philcon Reporter, and partied like a trufan. At the 1968 Hugo Awards ceremony, Robert Silverberg recalled:

I remember the 1953 convention: watching a memorable poker game in which Rog Phillips and Bob Tucker and other similar characters had roped in a 13-year-old fan named Dave Ish who had had more to drink than a 13-year-old fan should have even at a convention and yet Dave was winning all the pots.

Ish gafiated shortly after publishing "The Fantasy People" (a fictionalized account of the 1956 Worldcon, Nycon II) in New World Writing (1956). He also published Crifapac.
