Loco (Allen)

(Were you looking for something else named "Loco"?)

Loco was an apazine published by Don Allen in the UK. Its first issue was in OMPA mailing #5 but its second and last was seemingly distributed independently. Rich Brown wrote of that second issue in Cry of the Nameless #128 (June 1959):

This seems to be a fmz that radiates fun; Don probably had a lot of fun putting it out; I know I had fun reading it. Several of his own cartoons, various yak, a few pages of fannish limericks, a few pin-ups (one by himself and one by Jim Cawthorn), and all in all, just plain fun.

Ron Ellik was less impressed in Fanac #25 (September 1958):

contains some very poor 'fannish limericks' and about three pages of chatter. The limericks are not good — they are fannish only in that the word fan is substituted for man, etc. Most of them are rather stock, and would be unworthy of presentment at a Berkeley limerick-swapping session. Probably the trouble is that Don has to stay within postal laws... Good artwork.
