As always the issue comes in two free-to-download editions. This gives you a choice: you can either print it out as a proper fanzine, or read onscreen as an e-zine. Though if you take the e-zine option, make sure you print off the crossword /before/ you start filling it in!

A5 Fanzine version (print this side first):

(and then flip the pages over as a whole and insert them into the sheetfeeder so that the blank side prints):

E-zine version:
