Rackhamart was a 10-page, one-shot apazine published by Daphne Buckmaster in the UK and featuring, as the title implies, artwork by John Rackham. It was postmailed to OMPA mailing 31 in Spring 1962 and was Buckmaster's final contribution after eight years of membership.

In an introduction, Rackham says:

I have long been depressed by the majority of so-called art-work put out by those who stencil and duplicate as a hobby. There are, of course, honourable exceptions, and some of the mechanical drawing I have seen is quite good but, on the whole, stencil 'art' strikes me as lacking in imagination and inventiveness ... Accordingly, as soon as the time and opportunity came together, I decided to try some experiments.
