ASFO
A club located in Atlanta, beginning in the 1950s.
The 1950s Club[edit]
| From Fancyclopedia 2, ca. 1959 |
| The Atlanta, GA SF Organization, whose wheels were various Dixie fans like Macauley, Burwell, and others. In full swing by July 1951, they accomplished a notable feat of fan publishing by getting out a hard-cover edition of Sam Moskowitz's The Immortal Storm. |
Members included Jerry Page, Hank Reinhardt and Jerry Burge.
The 1960s–70s Club[edit]
In the late 1960s and early 1970s Atlanta fandom started to bloom again. A new incarnation under the name ASFO II was born. Glen Brock, John Ulrich, Allen Greenfield, Steve Hughes, Joe Celko and others were responsible.
The 1980s Club[edit]
There was a revived club by that name — it was not the Atlanta Science Fiction Club — apparently organized by Irv Koch. Fl. 1982. It pubbed ASFOAWN.
The Clubzine[edit]
As well as the clubzine Science Fiction Digest, ASFO published an Official Organ of the same name, previously Cosmag, edited by Ian Macauley.

| This is a club page. Please extend it by adding information about when and where the club met, when and by whom it was founded, how long it was active, notable accomplishments, well-known members, clubzines, any conventions it ran, external links to the club's website, other club pages, etc.
When there's a floreat (Fl.), this indicates the time or times for which we have found evidence that the club existed. This is probably not going to represent the club's full lifetime, so please update it if you can! |
