Dan Morgan
(December 24, 1925 – November 4, 2011)
Dan Morgan was a UK fan, pro author, poet and professional guitarist active from the 1950s.
Morgan attended the Festivention in 1951 where he is pictured sitting next to his friend and later collaborator John Kippax. They had played in the same dance band, both as guitarists. He was a contributor to Sludge that same year. He attended a number of later conventions, including the London SF Con in 1952 of which Walt Willis said:
The final event was a showing of Metropolis, which was in a way the best part of the official programme. This was because there was no incidental music to drown fan comment on the action, some of which was brilliant. Dan Morgan shone especially. When the hero suddenly mimed exaggerated alarm they way they do in silent films and dashed madly for the door Dan remarked 'First on the right'[1].
Morgan was guest of honour at Novacon 5. His speech there was published in Vector #72 (February 1976).
His first published genre story was 'Alien Analysis' in New Worlds #13 (January 1952) while his first novel, Cee-Tee Man was published in 1955. It was followed by a dozen others.
