Queebshots

Queebshots was a science fiction fandom fanzine published by Norm Clarke and Georgina Ellis with Boyd Raeburn.

Queebshots was an apazine published from 1963, first from Aylmer, Quebec, Canada, and later, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. It ran till 1967 and was known for its acerbic humour. Queebshots was like a series of one shots, and each issue has its own subtitle. Robert Lichtman, in a letter to Vegas Fandom Weekly #97, wrote, "Norm & Gina (Ellis) Clarke, two of fandom’s funniest writers...with Boyd Raeburn produced a series of “Queebshots” that raised the bar for short, pithy oneshots".
