Void

(For other entries on nothingness, see Void.)

Void was a fanzine published by George F. Clements with a single 30-page issue in November 1952. Clements hoped it would appear every three months or so but it never saw a second. In a letter to Then, Vin¢ Clarke quoted Paul Enever (10 March 1953) saying that after Clements sent out that first issue 'Void got 12 subs in all plus two "exchanges"', implying that Clements felt this was insufficient interest to justify continuing.

Clements said in Void, 'Although not an artist, I aim to present fantasy as a visual art'. To this end he engaged Alan Hunter as effectively art editor, commissioning work from Fantasy Art Society members and tracing it onto stencil. Hunter also provided the cover and there are interior pages from Staff Wright, Bill Price, Les Chapman, John duJardin and Ken McIntyre.

In a letter to Space Diversions #6 (April 1953) Clements referred to 'One of the late but unlamented Void subscribers', suggesting he'd already given up on Void by that point.
