Centaurus

Centaurus was a single-copy fanzine produced by Dave Wood for the Fantasy Art Society in 1952. The British Fanzine Bibliography says only that there were five issues of this title in 1952 and has no further information. Stellar from Ken Potter seems to have been a similar publication.

Dirce Archer may have been describing them when she wrote of the Society's output:

The two zines were rather unique. They were produced regularly but there was only one copy of each, as the contents were the originals of the art work, articles and stories, not copies. This probably was one reason for the British-only policy, as the mails would not have dealt kindly with these single copies if zipped back and forth between.the B.I. and the U.S.A.'.

Society founder Alan Hunter referred to them as 'portfolios' – assuming he was talking about the same thing – and said that they disappeared with everybody claiming to have passed them on to somebody else.
