John Muir

(???? – )

John Muir was a fan from Manchester, UK active in the 1960s and 1970s. He produced a number of fanzines, all single-issue and most in 1969. He was a member of OMPA.

He seems to have been a fanzine collector. In his report of SCI-CON, Peter Roberts describes the auction and notes that:

Ken Eadie is buying everything Mike Moorcock, Ted Tubb, and Ken Bulmer are selling. But not a full set of Hyphen which goes for £5 – I watch with clenched teeth and empty pocket. John Muir is even more heartbroken at the sight, but later alleviates woe with some cheap 'Golden Age' fanzines from the U.S.

In Speculation #30 (Spring 1972), Peter Weston wrote of the BSFA's 'Fanzine Foundation' which 'in 1970/71 or thereabouts, a Northern fan by the name of John Muir acquired ... from Charlie'. These fanzines were seemingly auctioned off at Chessmancon in 1972, and the remainder at Mancon 5.
