Andromeda was a mimeographed fanzine published by Pete Campbell in the 1950s. At least one issue was distributed through OMPA.

George Whiting and later Don Allen were credited as art editors on some issues with Paul Enever as assistant editor. Derek Williams was 'crossword editor' for the final two issues.

With its fifth issue it claimed a circulation of 200 copies. By #7 this had risen to 240, but dropped to 200 subsequently. #5 sold for 2½d, #7 for 4d, and #11 6d.

The dating seems peculiar at first. #12 says 'july 1155' and #13 'aug. 1055'. One pragmatic interpretation is that Campbell meant e.g. July 11, 1955 and August 10, 1955 respectively. Alternatively he had something wholly different in mind.
