SWILL was a shock and awe boot to the head at science fiction fandom. Vicious, angry, intentionally offensive, silly, irreverent, and obnoxious; brimming with the malicious delight of a shock-jock... More > gadfly screaming with feigned anger – all sound and fury – in an effort to rattle the comfortable status quo of the Toronto SF fan establishment while creating the construct of some sort of SF fan rebel or outlaw. At least that is how the "trufen" within the Toronto SF fan community viewed SWILL -- they hated it. SWILL ran for 7 issues in 1981 and was revived in 2001 as a website on Tripod (the SWILL Online site still exists). In 2011 there was a 30th anniversary revival – SWILL @ 30. This volume contains issues #8 through #12 of SWILL – the SWILL @ 30 issues.
