Lan's Lantern
Template:Short description Script error: No such module "Unsubst". Lan's Lantern was a science fiction fanzine edited by George "Lan" Laskowski. It was nominated for the Hugo Award for Best Fanzine from 1986 through 1996, winning in 1986 and 1991.[1] It is called an appreciation zine because it specialized in issues celebrating a single science fiction author, such as issue #11 on Clifford D. Simak or issue #9 about the writings of Jack Williamson which appeared in Amazing Stories in the early 1950s.[2] Issues ranged from 30 to 120 pages. The first was published in April 1976 and the last (#47) in December 1998.[3] Mike Resnick wrote in 2002:

"Lan's Lantern not only runs the best articles and most thoughtful reviews of any fanzine around, but also has become the Rand McNally of the fannish community."[4]
