Should there be an apostrophe somewhere?

Just found myself writing the phrase "a Douglas Adams fan" (on a StumbleUpon review for this site) and, as a boring pedant, started wondering whether there's a missing apostrophe somewhere. Since an alternate to that would be "a fan of Douglas Adams" should it have been written "a Douglas Adams' fan"? Now where's my copy of 'Eats shoots and ...'?
