A. Clarke

(???? – )

A. Clarke was a fan from Mablethorpe in Lincolnshire active in the 1950s.

We don't know a great deal about him other than that he was a subscriber to Phantasmagoria, lived in a post office, and was a different person to A. Vincent Clarke and Arthur C. Clarke.

He wrote the nomination for Derek Pickles in the 1954 TAFF Race as published in Hyphen 5 (November 1953). He praised Pickles as, "a fan without malice; willing to work for fandom without any desire to use his magazine to indulge in harsh criticism of other fans." An editorial comment in Hyphen 6 pointed out that "The ballot form published by Space Diversions contained a misprint. Derek Pickles was not nominated by rival candidate A. Vincent Clarke, but by A. Clark of Mablethorpe."
