A fanzine by Raymond Fisher which started in the 1940s and, with a hiatus between 1951 and 1966, was still being published in the ’60s, and had at least eighteen issues. Richard Elsberry and Joyce M. Fisher co-edited some issues. It was one of the more respected genzines of the ’60s and was nominated for the 1968 Best Fanzine Hugo.

Joe Haldeman's column "Letters from Vietnam" appeared here.
