(For other entries on nothingness, see Void.)

Void was started in 1955 by Jim and Greg Benford while their family was living in Germany; after #13 Jim dropped out. Thereafter, starting in 1959 there was a changing series of co-editors, though the actual publishing chores were taken on by Ted White who joined as co-editor with issue 14. By 1961 Terry Carr and Pete Graham had joined and Carr merged his own fanzine Gambit with Void in the form of a column. During this last period, Void had become one of the best genzines being published.

The fifth anniversary issue, dubbed the 'VANNISH', was so large it had to be mailed out in three installments. After a half-year pause followed issue #23, dubbed the 'Willish' or more officially the Special Walt Willis Appreciation Issue which launched the Tenth Anniversary Willis Fund that resulted in Walt and Madeleine Willis coming to America for the 1962 Worldcon, ten years after Walt's first trip.

The end came suddenly. Issue #28 was published in early 1962, and then nothing for five years. Ted White, who had been publishing the fanzine from his Towner Hall apartment and mimeo shop in Manhattan, moved to Brooklyn, and became involved in other fan activities. The last issue, #29, was published by White after a 5-year hiatus.
