JULY 2013 ARCHIVE
WILLIAM E. ANCHORS
Irwin Allen fandom has just lost one of its long time fans, author and publisher William E. Anchors. Bill had a long history in the fan publishing business, producing books and magazines on a wide variety of television subjects, especially in his Epi-Log magazine that ran for several years. Closest to his heart were the Irwin Allen television series, and Bill with the help of Irwin Allen fans around the globe has published several fan written books in recent years (see all the individual publications pages on the IANN sites). These publications will be his legacy.
