From the N3F, Ionishere.
Probe is the zine produced by Science Fiction and Fantasy South Africa (SFFSA). The cover of this edition is gorgeous!
and there is a reprint of an obituary for Nichelle written by our own Keith Braithwaite. Lots of fiction and reviews, too. An excellent zine!
The most recent edition of Films Fantastic, courtesy of the N3F, has a very comprehensive review of the life and work of Ed Wood. Some bug has corrupted part of the file but luckily this article is OK, and I have permission to share the zine with the corrupted pages deleted.
Lots of history ion this one. CPL

From Nic Farey: This Here 56
Interesting article about ancestry as Nic, who was adopted, learns about his birth family. Footy column with the ubiquitous pictures of female soccer player waving her shirt around (It’s a sports bra, guys, get over it), and lovely art by Ulrika. Lots of letters, including one from me.
From Joe Major, Alexiad 124.
Sad to hear of another fan-run convention dying due to lack of fans to work at it.

From the N3F:
The sercon article is very interesting, being about Fawcett Publications beyond superhero comics. The author, Jon D. Swartz, puts to focus their limited runs and one-offs, such as Destination Moon, When Worlds Collide and Captain Video.
