Tightbeam

Tightbeam, our third-oldest fanzine, was first published in 1960 as Hyperspace Tightbeam.  By its third issue, the name was shortened to Tightbeam. More than 50 years after its first publication, in 2013, the Library of Congress assigned to Tightbeam the periodical classification of ISSN 2329-4809.
