(Did you mean a British fanzine, or a Robert Weinberg fanzine?)


The pulps were magazines printed on cheap wood-pulp paper. Such prozines dominated SF publishing from its beginnings through the 1940s, largely dying out over the ’50s. The format was characterized by unsophisticated and usually formulaic adventure stories. Nonetheless, modern SF grew from those pulp beginnings.
