Icarus

(Did you mean a University of Southern California SF Club?)

Icarus was the clubzine of the Forest Fields Science Fiction Society. It was edited by Robin Allen, Brian Allport, Mike Booth and Dave Wood and was advertised for 3d a copy in the programme book for Bullcon, the 1963 Eastercon. Rob Hansen said in Then (page 204) that:

The editors' interests were not limited to SF however, as demonstrated by their enthusiasm for Tamla Motown records, but most of the contents of Icarus consisted of low quality amateur fiction and poetry. Icarus saw seven issues in all, none of them being sufficiently impressive to bring the group any real recognition in British fandom, and they faded away sometime in 1964.

The British Fanzine Bibliography has no details for the first two issues which were, it said, first published as a school magazine.

Issue	Date	Pages	Notes
3	April 1963	12
4	1963	20
5	October 1963	32	Allen not a co-editor

The title continued as The Green Onion Show from Wood alone.
