(Did you want the George Wells apazine WOOF!?)
WOOF, the Worldcon Order Of Faneditors, is an apa collated annually at most Worldcons (the five exceptions have been mostly the non-US ones) with fanzines from everyone who cares to contribute. It was founded in 1976 by Bruce Pelz, who later declared it to be his "second dumbest idea" (enquiring minds want to know...).
Before WOOF, some early Worldcons and other cons created combozines.
Apazines have included:
Issue | Year | Editor | Pages | Worldcon | Notes |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
– | 1941 | Denvention | The Denventioneer | ||
– | 1946 | Pacificon | Pacificon Combozine | ||
– | 1947 | Philcon | Philcon Memory Book | ||
