==Issue 24== 
Warped Space 24 was published in April 1977 and contains 64 pages. 
From the editor: 
Fifteen letters of comment were printed, and there was a list of thirty WAHF. One of those letters was from Paula Block, see So what do you want, good material or good friends?? which focused on fanzine quality, critique, the zines "Warped Space" and Menagerie, and recent comments in Paula Smith's essay I (and Sharon) have been backed into a corner defending a single position over quality controls. Frankly, I rather resent this..
Some of the letters of comment in this issue addressed not fiction, art, or poetry in issue #23, but instead letters by other fans. One fan, Kathy Penland, commented up on Paula Block's letter regarding manners, pie, cons, and William Shatner:
