Opuntia

A fanzine published by Dale Speirs. It is described, "Opuntia began in March 1991 as an SF and Canadian fanhistory zine and has evolved over its decades of monthly publication. It now concentrates on reviews of SF and mystery, economics, history, and vignettes of life in Calgary. No fiction or poetry, but does include zine reviews other than those posted on efanzines."
