Star Rover
Issue 1 Movermber 1950

Star Rover was a science fiction fanzine by Roger Dard.

Star Rover was published in Perth, Western Australia, in November 1950. It sold for six pence "within the sterling area", and for ten cents in North America. The Agent for the U.S.A was Rick Sneary.

The contents of Issue 1 consisted of of a half-page editorial by Dard, mainly devoted to a plea for submissions otherwise Star Rover would be a one shot; a fanzine review column; an article by Don Tuck titled 'Cities of Tomorrow'; and an article by 'Sherlock' titled "Future Science & Criminology".

Roger Dard was also an Associate Editor of Perhaps, first published in February 1953 by Leo J. Harding. In the 1950s he contributed to Australian fanzines such as Bacchanalia, and U.S. fanzines such as Cosmag and Spaceship. He has continued to contribute to fanzines, including Mumblings from Munchkinland.
