Biographical Note

This collection was a gift of Anthony Boucher and contains fanzines that he collected. Boucher was born in Oakland, CA and was an esteemed science fiction author, critic, and editor of Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine and The Magazine of Science Fiction and Fantasy, the latter of which he was also the co-founder. Boucher was also the author of Rocket to the Morgue from 1942 which is widely acknowledged as a sci-fi mystery classic and the first novel to combine the two genres. In 1946, Boucher helped establish the Mystery Writers of America, an organization of mystery and crime writers. In 1957 and again in 1958, The Magazine of Science Fiction and Fantasy won the Hugo Award, an annual award given for best science fiction or fantasy works, for best professional magazine. In 1970, his short story "The Quest for Saint Aquin" was selected as one of the best science fiction stories of all time by the Science Fiction Writers of America. Boucher died in 1968.
