Scribble

Scribble was a fanzine edited by Colin Freeman in the UK in the early 1960s.

Freeman wrote Scribble while permanently resident in Scotton Banks Hospital hospital in Knaresborough. Ron Bennett from nearby Harrogate duplicated the issues. For later issues Bob Pavlat was US agent.

Freeman's 'Scribblings' column topped the Skyrack Poll for 'best column' in 1962, while Scribble placed 8th in the 'best British fanzine' category for 1962 and 6th for 1963 while Freeman himself placed 5th and 4th respectively in the 'Best British Fanwriter' category.

There's a bit of fuzziness around its first issue. Some sources suggest that the first and second issue are combined but there doesn't really seem to be any evidence of this within the fanzine itself.
