Kolon was a Swedish fannish personalzine published by Anders Bellis with 20 issues from 1982 until 1992. There were 10 issues in 1982; later years saw fewer but larger issues, the last (#30) published in 1992. In fact, the number of issues can be disputed; there was never any issue #15, but on the other hand there were intermediate issues numbered 4,5, 6,5, 12,5, 16,5 and 18,5. Kolon was entirely centered on fandom, ran an annual poll on various fan activities, published sometimes murderous fanzine reviews as well as meeting and convention reports and various Brandonizations; John-Henri Holmberg considers his fannish version of Swedish poet Gunnar Ekelöf's "En mölna-elegi", called "A Fandom Elegy" and published in Kolon #20, 1987, one of his best fanzine works.
