Oopsla!

A mimeographed fanzine published by Gregg and JoAnne Calkins with thirty issues starting in January 1952 and ending in September 1961.

Science Fantasy News #15 said Oopsla! "...has some of the best fan writers, is one of the 'zines no self-respecting fan should miss." Dean Grennell in Grue 29 wrote, “the finest United States-published, regularly-appearing, general-subscription fanzine and if it is better than HYPHEN, it is due to the fact that it usually contains more writing by Willis than does his own magazine. This is an absolute must. What more can I say?”
