The Mentor 1971 - 1984

                     

The Mentor is an Australian Science Fiction Fanzine published by Ron L. Clarke. A Bertram Chandler was a frequent contributor starting from 1971 and continuing up until his death in 1984. Chandler had a regular column called Grimesish Grumberlings where his mind ranged across ideas within and outside of the Science Fiction community. Ron has kindly provided scans of these articles and these have now been republished on this web site.

Recent editions of The Mentor are available on the web on the eFanzine web site.

 

The Mentor 24

In Memory of A. B. Chandler

You set your sight so far outwards
that you own light far raced fowards
you've left us earth bound
broken gravity's bond
forever now you can sail
along the edge of night
blazing a star bright trail
burning nova ever bright.

- Julie Vaux.
(The Mentor #52)
