(???? – )

Charles David Wildman was a fan and fanartist likely from Bradford, UK active in the 1950s. His work appeared in BEM, Golgotha and Rot.

In Golgotha 2 (December 1952), Tom White said:

Charles David Wildman (No – his folks do not hail from Borneo) is the product of five years study at the Leeds College of Art, at least his talent is. This cover, which I am delighted with, is his first attempt at cutting a stencil. He insisted upon doing the actual cutting himself, and despite my protests he finally had his own way,

Arnie Katz, writing in Energumen 7 (April 1971 so getting on for 20 years after the event) was unimpressed. In discussing BEM 4 he praised a piece by Harry Turner but:

The rest of the art was done by Don Allen and Charles Wildman, both of whom rank right down at the bottom of the fan art totem pole with such modern-day wonders as Jeff Schalles and Alexis Gilliland. True art in British fanzines waited upon the coming of True Art Thomson.

He isn't mentioned in Ron Bennett's Directory of Science Fiction Fandom.
