Viridiana

Viridiana was a 22-page, single issue fanzine published in March 1970 by Dave Womack. Ethel Lindsay described it in Scottishe #43 (March 1970):

The production is, I'm afraid, very bad. Yet there is quite a vast amount of material packed in. Mainly poetry but some fiction. The latter I am unable to judge as the ending usually runs off the page — amateur fiction notoriously depends upon its ending.

Viridiana is though best remembered, even by those who have never seen it, because of Greg Pickersgill's review in Fouler #3 (October 1970):

It's worthless. It gets Brit fandom a bad name it hardly deserves, bad as it is. Every copy ought to be sought out and burned, with Womack securely roped down in the middle of them. My fury knows no bounds.
