Häpna! — which means "Be astounded!" — was the first overt SF prozine in Sweden, published from March 1954 to Spring 1966 in 119 digest-sized, more or less monthly issues. Its editorship is unclear.
The founders were brothers Karl Gustav and Kurt Kindberg, who had inherited a small printing press and publishing business, and wanted to start an sf magazine. From its first issue Häpna! published suggestions for readers to form clubs and even publish fanzines. This was heeded by quite a few, and within months Sweden had a number of small fan groups.
