(1946-2023) US editor, author, journalist and crossword compiler who is remembered for the Amateur Magazine (foreshadowing Semiprozines) Perihelion, which launched in April 1967 as Seldon Seen edited with Eric M Jones for the science-fiction club at Long Island University in Brooklyn; from the third issue it was retitled Perihelion with continued numbering and Bellotto as sole editor; this first run ended with #7 for Summer 1969. It was revived in November 2012 as a monthly Webzine, though with a long gap between April 2017 and the final issue in January 2018. Bellotto contributed some fiction to the first series of Seldon Seen / Perihelion, editorial matter to both series, and from 2013 also published some tales in Bewildering Stories and genre anthologies.
