Wrinkled Shrew
Issue 4 August 1975

Wrinkled Shrew was a science fiction fanzine by Pat Charnock.

Poblished in London, England, the first issue of Wrinkled Shrew appeared in July 1974. It featured writing by Pat Charnock and Graham Charnock, Graham Hall, Dick Howett, Charles Platt (Beyond), and Chris Priest. Some subsequent issues were edited by both Pat and Graham Charnock.

Of the cover of issue 4, August 1975, Peter Roberts in Checkpoint #72, from August 1976, writes, "The cover of the fourth issue is a good place to start; it's a portrait of Karl Marx with rodents in his beard and the reader is invited to spot the shrews therein (taking care to avoid the false voles). Knockout. Covers that bemuse people are rare and good things." Issue 4 carried articles by Dick Howett, Roy Kettle, and "Coventry '75: The Great Seacon Freakout", a convention report from Peter Nicholls, voted 'Best Article' in the Checkpoint Poll for 1975-76.

In the fifth issue, from February 1976, Dick Howett does an illustrated column and Roy Kettle continues his memoirs.

Issue 8, from April 1978, won the award for Best Fanzine Cover in the Checkpoint Poll of 1978-1979, with cover art work by Pauline Jones, and limerick by Graham Charnock.

8 issues were published, the last in April 1979.
