Perihelion has published fiction by authors such as Joseph Green, Ken Liu, Lela E. Buis, Aliya Whiteley, and Steve Stanton, including articles by National Press Club member John A. McCormick[1] and comic strips and illustrations by Casey Brillon, Christopher Baldwin, and John Waltrip.

[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.

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