''Perihelion Science Fiction'' originated on November 1967 from the Zeckendorf College campus of [[Long Island University]], in Brooklyn NY. The first issue was edited and published by two senior college students — Sam Bellotto Jr. and Eric M. Jones. It was photo-offset, 40 pages, in black-and-white. It ran for only five issues.<ref>{{cite web|title=OCLC World Cat|url=http://www.worldcat.org/title/perihelion-science-fiction/oclc/34234688}}</ref> As reported by Mike Ashley in his history of science fiction periodicals, ''Gateways to Forever'', the magazine “presented a mixture of fannish news, articles, and fiction, including a heroic-fantasy comic strip, ‘Alaron’ by art editor William Stillwell. Amongst its fiction was work by writers who would soon be selling professionally, including Robert E. Toomey and Evelyn Lief.”<ref>{{cite book|last=Ashley|first=Mike|title=Gateways to Forever|year=2007|publisher=Liverpool University Press|isbn=1846310032|pages=237–238}}</ref> Further issues of ''Perihelion'' (April 1967-Summer 1969) were printed, with a professional style layout, with artwork by Vaughn Bodé and fiction by Dean R Koontz and David R Bunch. Bellotto did not pay contributors, and it was his failure to raise sufficient finance that closed the magazine.<ref>{{cite web|title=The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction|url=http://www.sf-encyclopedia.com/entry/amateur_magazine|accessdate=10/18/2012}}</ref>

History

[edit]

Perihelion Science Fiction originated in November 1967. It was photo-offset, 40 pages, in black-and-white. It ran for only five issues.[6] As reported by Mike Ashley in his history of science fiction periodicals, Gateways to Forever, the magazine “presented a mixture of fannish news, articles, and fiction, including a heroic fantasy comic strip, ‘Alaron’ by art editor William Stillwell. Amongst its fiction was work by writers who would soon be selling professionally, including Robert E. Toomey and Evelyn Lief."[7] Further issues of Perihelion (April 1967-Summer 1969) were printed, with a professional style layout, with artwork by Vaughn Bodé and fiction by Dean R Koontz and David R Bunch. Bellotto did not pay contributors, and financial issues the caused closure of the magazine.[8]

Over 40 years later, on November 12, 2012 Perihelion Science Fiction was relaunched as a professional online webzine.[9] It is now a paying market, currently offering one-cent per word.[10][11] Perihelion has been named one of the five best free Internet science fiction sites by Decades Review.[12] Lois Tilton reviewed the magazine in Locus Online.[13]
