The first issue of Hyphen was published May 1952. It was first intended to fill the gap between issues of Slant, which was being published by Willis and James White. However, over time it became the main title that Willis would publish. 37 issues were released in all.
Madeleine Willis had come up with the title, which was meant to represent the effort to make this fanzine a joint UK - U.S.A. project, with fanwriters and artists from both sides of the Atlantic contributing.

Vincent Clarke (Science Fantasy News, EYE), Ermengarde Fiske with the column "New York Letter", W. Max Keasler, Damon Knight, Peter Ridley, Bob Shaw with the column "The Glass Bushel", William F. Temple (Novae Terrae), Bob Tucker (Le Zombie), and James White.

The 1987 Revival Issue featured John Berry (The Damned Patrol), Chuck Harris, Patrick and Teresa Nielsen Hayden (Izzard), Eric Mayer, Bob Shaw, Arthur Thomson (ATom), James White and reprints of letters by William F. Temple. The article by Patrick and Teresa Nielsen Hayden from issue 37, "Aspects and Inclinations", was selected for reprinting in the anthology Fanthology '87.

During the 1950s, Hyphen was undeniably one of the most popular fanzines printed, topping reader polls every year. Later fanzine editors such as Greg Pickersgill cited it as a major influence.
