Mike Hinge - 81st Birthday Anniversary - Darren Shroeder
Darren Shroeder webmaster and editor of Small Press Printed Matters emailed me some early illustrations of Mike's in the form of two publicity flyers from when Mike was still living in New Zealand before emigrating to the USA. I'm guessing it probably dates from sometime around about 1954. The same year which Mike illustrated "Time Fanzine" with Monica Naughton which they wrote and published together. It might be that Mike was age 23 when he made these illustrations? It would be great if anyone could date these flyers.

These were 1952-1953 ish. I have the New Year card in an envelope postmarked December 1952, which was sent to a mutual acquaintance. The Auckland SF Club was formed in 1952, and these flyers were distributed around Auckland bookshops in the years following. I had the original Letterpress metal linoblock for this, but it has been lost in storage for some years now. I have a copy of Fanzine Time in mint condition, and both of these were distributed with it. This one was never opened (or read) so they laid undisturbed all this time.
