Egg was a fanzine published by Peter Roberts.
It began as an OMPAzine in 1970 and some issues were also distributed with ANZAPA and APA-45. It won the Checkpoint Fan Poll in 1970/71 and placed third in 1974/75. Issues were duplicated on quarto paper.
It often included a column of fanzine reviews and chatter by Eric Bentcliffe and a column 'North Sea Nog' or just 'Nog' by John Brosnan.
