	Portrait of David Langford
		Dave Langford is a Welsh-born fiction writer, critic, humorist and essayist.
		Dave's fireworks were the size of footballs, they were wrapped in stiff brown paper, had wire fuses and anti-tamper devices and you half-expected to find instructions about telephoning newspapers with a password.
		Dave is a rather amiable and harmless-looking man. At any fan gathering he will spend the evening cupping his ear hopefully in all the wrong directions, but then later will be found to have overheard only those things that were not meant to be overheard.

	David Langford - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		David Langford (born April 10, 1953, in Newport, Monmouthshire) is a British science fiction author and critic.
		His novelette An Account Of A Meeting With Denizens Of Another World 1871, is an entertaining account of a UFO encounter, as experienced by a Victorian, but is notable chiefly for the framing story, in which Langford claimed to have found the manuscript in an old desk.
		Langford has won numerous other Hugo Awards, mostly for his fan journalism: 19 for Best Fan Writer, 5 for Ansible as Best Fanzine, and another for Ansible as Best Semiprozine.

	Montezuma's Revenge of Mexicon, 1986
		Dave sat on the unstaffed registration table, talking with a blitzed and red-eyed Brian Parker, and sharing a cigarette of some sort.
		We wandered back through the bar, aiming at the back room where a dance was reputedly in full swing, but we were waylaid by Dave Langford and Joseph, the first telling a complex tale while the second flattered me, gave me a kiss on the cheek, and left me speechless once again.
		In many ways my relationship with Dave Bridges was an exception to the rule because the David I knew through fanzines, and then through letters is almost identical to the David who met me at Gatwick Airport, who is the David I'm married to now.

	Mimosa 25, pages 44-46. "Bob and Walt, A Remembrance" by Joyce Scrivner
		During my attempt to buy a membership I developed a long running correspondence with Dave Langford, who was on Skycon's committee.
		I met Hazel (his wife) early in the convention and then she disappeared into the film room with several balls of knitting wool and only briefly surfaced for meals and the Hugo Awards ceremony.
		Dave Langford was Special Fan Guest so I saw very little of him at the convention.

		Dave really liked "He lifted her shirt up over her head.
		Jeanne seemed to enjoy the sex talk, and didn't blink an eye when Dave mentioned Paris Hilton's sex tapes, though she was appalled when he admitted to reading Paris Hilton's biography (she was somewhat mollified by the fact that he took it out of the library, so he didn't actually contribute to Paris's royalties).

	The Silence of the Langford
		This volume is the latest collection from Dave Langford, one of the most erudite and certainly the wittiest British SF writer of our day.
		Of all the science fiction writers living within a stone's throw of the cemetery on the east side of Reading, Dave Langford is undoubtedly the deafest — and, it pains me to admit, the funniest.
		It is a tragedy to readers of serious fiction that David Langford has recklessly chosen to squander so many of his splendid talents on demagoguery aimed at science fiction fandom, the street people of the literary world.

	The Alien Online - Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror News, Reviews, Articles and more...
		Langford wonders whether 'the better critics' amongst the contributors to such volumes "tend to be more sparing with their praise, more reluctant to dish out five star ratings little knowing that behind their backs the not-so-good critics are showering top marks on pet authors."
		One reason why Langford is such a good critic is that he is such a good writer, particularly of comic prose.
		And if we look for Langford’s peers in the world of criticism today then we’re most likely to find them in the world of reviewers rather than academic critics: John Clute, Nick Gevers, Paul di Fillipo, all excellent, but none of them even one third so witty or funny as Langford himself.

		A few more names should have been added by Novacon, where we hope to discuss the whole thing in an open forum (rotten eggs should be left at the door) Expressions of support, encouragement, unbridled lust, etc. would doubtless be welcome, care of Malcolm or Ansible.
		A point: IZ is often called the successor to New Worlds -- to the partial irritation of its editors -- and it was interesting to read Mike Moorcock's massive Fontana anthology of NW, with its mention of those who carry on the `tradition' of that mag.

		This is a scene from Langford and Montesinos' latest film, "Number 35." It is the second film they have made together in the last year.
		But Langford and Montesinos don't fall into this category; they're actually making films; and they're not letting money, crowded, college cinema programs, or discouraging opinions get in their way.
		As Langford makes sure all of the actors are ready to go for the getaway scene, shot in a busy downtown Oakland intersection during traffic hours, I hear one of the extras asks "Dude, aren't we gonna have to stop traffic so we can run into the street safely?" Langford smiles.

		The Langford theory of newsletters was no more than a few vague prejudices at the time.
		Tracy Benton wrote that the piece "was a great conrunner's microcosm: the inadvertent volunteer, the late-arriving equipment that fails to work, dealing with offending (and offensive) people, exhaustion, horror, mass-hysteria, and total collapse.
