Rataplan

An apazine published by Leigh Edmonds which was included in APA-45, FAPA, SAPS and ANZAPA. Diane Bangsund and Valma Brown were at times co-editors.

Edmonds said the title was proposed by John Bangsund who said it was from one of the lesser Savoy Operas called ‘Cox and Box’.

It was nominated for a Ditmar Award for Best Fanzine in 1969 and 1973, and won in 1984 (shared with Ornithopter).

The title was revived in September 2023 for distribution at Conflux 17.
