History
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.[5] 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.”[6] 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.[7]
Over 40 years later, on November 12, 2012 Perihelion Science Fiction was relaunched as a professional online webzine.[8]
