Stan's Weekly Express (or WE, for short) was a weekly adzine published from 1969 to 1973 by Stanley Blair of Houston, Texas. It was a direct forerunner of the Comics Buyer's Guide. Blair founded the WSA (short for Stan's Weekly Express Seal of Approval) to serve as a guard against mail fraud for the blossoming comic fandom industry.
