(Nov 21, 1902-Feb 3, 1977)
Thyril Leone Ladd, of Albany, NY, was a reader and collector of fantasy and science fiction, active in fandom in the nineteen forties and early nineteen fifties. He wrote reviews and articles for The Acolyte, The Fanscient and for the first incarnation of Fantasy Commentator. In the Acknowledgments to the Checklist of Fantastic Literature (Shasta, 1948), E.F. Bleiler cited Ladd among the seven fantasy readers and collectors whose collections formed the major portion of the checklist.
A. Langley Searles, editor of Fantasy Commentator, wrote that Thyril Ladd’s activities in fandom were limited because he was primarily a reader and collector and was not attracted to the social activities and feuds of fandom.
