Technically, being a regular columnist in Hyphen and co-author of The Enchanted Duplicator don't count as “doing a fanzine.” But according to Fancyclopedia he did another one-shot Return of the Space Boggle in the 1950s. So Perspex Parrot is his second.

If memory serves, he said it was his first.

"The Return of the Space Boggle" was a (not very good) three-page cartoon strip included in Shelby Vick's fanzine Confusion 14, February 1953. I'm guessing it may also have been distributed elsewhere, leading to the one-shot description, but Supergee rightly remembers that Bob Shaw said in Perspex Parrot that PP was his first fanzine.

The full text of Perspex Parrot is included in Slow Pint Glass, a big collection of Bob's miscellaneous fanwriting available as a free download from the ebooks page at taff.org.uk, along with collections of his Serious Scientific Talks and the Glass Bushel columns from Hyphen.
