The Metaphysical Review

Fanzine edited by Bruce Gillespie which he created for articles not about SF and fantasy, but things that SF fans are still interested in. It was published in two series, the first from 1970 and the second from 1984, with numbering restarting. Some issues appeared in ANZAPA and APA-45.

The Metaphysical Review has won the Ditmar Award for Best Australian Fanzine twice: 1986 and 1999.
