UK Fanzine (1948-1953) edited from Belfast by Walt Willis. Neatly hand-printed on a small letterpress machine, and containing woodcut illustrations by James White and Bob Shaw, Slant is best remembered for introducing the Irish Fandom of that era (principally Willis, Shaw and White) to sf fandom at large; it also contained fine pieces of humorous writing (continued in Hyphen) and featured fiction by authors such as Kenneth Bulmer, John Brunner, A Bertram Chandler and Shaw. In 2004 Slant was voted a Retro Hugo for the year 1953. [PR/DRL]
