Fans seek to preserve sci-fi legend Forrest Ackerman's last abode as a landmark

89.3 KPCC: Forrest Ackerman — literary agent to sci-fi writers including Ray Bradbury and Isaac Asimov, publisher of Famous Monsters of Filmland magazine and inspiration to generations of writers and filmmakers including Steven Spielberg and Guillermo del Toro — was also a collector of the highest order.  

Hat tip to Rick Robinson.

Forry bought the first story I ever sold, a 600 word pun for the back of one of his Perry Rhodan books. That $10 meant the world to me.
