LOC used to appear often in the UK fanzines that I read back in the early 80s, such as BEM, and the term puzzled me for absolutely ages - even though when used in this type of publication the meaning should have been pretty obvious.

Well thanks for clearing that up. Mostly...

It is the name of a fanzine. I'll try to find the several copies I own and post them.

It is/was one of my favorite fanzines.

That's my standard use of it.

 

However, accoding to the replies I received on the ComicBase Forums, it means:

 

LOC is Letter of Comment. When someone of note (normally before they became 'famous') had a letter published in an Issue, some people like to keep track of them.

 

I've never seen this used, but that's what they say.
