Lamar Waldron (born 1954) is an American writer and historian who often writes about conspiracies and cover-ups.
Waldron studied at Georgia State University. He has two degrees from Georgia State, including a Masters in Counseling/Psychology.
Waldron was co-founder and long-time organizer of the Atlanta Fantasy Fair, an annual trade show devoted to comic books and science fiction/fantasy fandom, from 1975–1987. During this period he edited and published Visions, the official program booklet of the AFF, which also contained original interviews and comics.
Throughout the 1980s and a good portion of the 1990s, Waldron wrote stories in the comics field, for such publishers as Fictioneer Books, Disney, and Dark Horse Comics. In 1983 Starblaze Graphics published Lightrunner, an "epic science fiction adventure" written by Waldron and illustrated by Rod Whigham. Waldron was the writer of the Fictioneer series M.I.C.R.A.: Mind Controlled Remote Automaton, which ran 7 issues from 1986–1988.
