Frederick Walter Patten (Dec 11, 1940 – November 12, 2018) was an American writer and historian known for his piece of work in the science fiction, fantasy,[1] anime, manga, and furry fandoms, where he gained great distinction through a substantial contribution to both print and online books, magazines, and other media.
Background [edit]
Patten was born in Los Angeles on Dec eleven, 1940 to Shirley Marie (Jones) Patten and Beverly Walter Patten. He had 2 younger sisters: Loel Anne Patten (built-in 1943) and Sherrill Clare Patten (born 1947). He learned to read at a young historic period, starting with comic strips in both the Los Angeles Times and Examiner, and later was introduced to Walt Disney's Comics and Stories around 1945. Much of his early reading besides came from magazines and books, and he showed an involvement in superhero comic books as well.
Scientific discipline fiction became a fundamental interest around age 9, and Patten began to collect books from Ace Books, Ballantine Books, and other publishers, as well as major scientific discipline fiction magazines including Astounding, F&SF, and Galaxy Scientific discipline Fiction. In the late 1950s, he became involved in science-fiction fandom.
Patten entered the University of California at Los Angeles in 1958, and its graduate School of Library Scientific discipline in 1962. He became agile in fandom after discovering the Los Angeles Science Fantasy Society in 1960. By the time he graduated with a master'southward degree in Library Science in 1963, Patten had been writing for scientific discipline fiction fanzines and publishing his ain stories for 3 years. His Chief'due south thesis was on the books of Andre Norton.
Work in anime, fantasy, and science fiction fandoms [edit]
In 1972, Patten partnered with Richard Kyle to create Graphic Story Bookshop in Long Beach, California. In an interview posted on the (at present defunct) website of Pulp, Patten said he had discovered manga at Westercon, one of the largest scientific discipline fiction conventions on the West Declension, in 1970. At the time, he had been aware of tv shows like Astro Boy, merely had no idea then that they were Japanese.
Through his bookshop, Patten wrote to Japanese publishers, asking to import their manga, achieving some success and in the process becoming a pioneer in the anime and manga fandom. He was 1 of the founders of the Cartoon/Fantasy Arrangement, the showtime American anime fan gild, in 1977.[2]
During this time, Patten worked in numerous library positions, notably that of technical catalogue librarian at Hughes Aircraft Company'south Company Technical Document Eye (CTDC), in El Segundo, Calif., from 1969 to 1990. Later leaving that position, he served from 1991 to 2002 as the get-go employee of Streamline Pictures, one of America'due south pioneering anime specialty production companies, founded by Carl Macek and Jerry Brook in 1988. He has been a presenter at major conventions and invitee lecturer at universities in the U.South. and Australia.
Patten wrote numerous monthly columns and private articles for Animation World Magazine, Newtype U.S.A., the Comics Buyer's Guide, and other magazines, including serving as the Official Editor for the Rowrbrazzle Apprentice Press Association, until March 2005, when he suffered a stroke.
No longer able to go along his drove, which had grown over more than 40 years, Patten donated everything – almost 900 boxes (~220,000 items) of comic books, records, tapes, anime, manga, programs from scientific discipline-fiction conventions dating back to the 1930s, convention T-shirts, paperbacks, and an array of sci-fi fanzines back to the 1930s – to the J.
