Snide was a short-lived humor zine by science fiction fan Damon Knight. There were only two issues, plus a special 2-pager for Denvention I, but it was very well reviewed by other fans. At Denvention, it beat Le Zombie for a best humor zine award (as judged by MC Walt Daugherty).

About

Ask the Fan Who Owns One!

....There aren't many, we admit, because we only printed 70-odd copies of the first issue. But SNIDE #2 is now out, 120 of it, with this lineup:

An Open Letter, by Liverpoolian Ron Holmes

Tale of The Mangledomvritch, by Ray Bradbury

Call for Captain Past! by Gerrod delaGaetz

Via Sweepstakes, by Gordon A. Gillicutty

Daisies Will Tell, by Barbara Bovard

Aberration, by Doc Lownes & Dick Wilson

and departments and features as usual, including a cover that will knock your eye out. Figuratively, of course.
