Zenith
(Did you mean an early name for Peter Weston's Speculation?)
Zenith was a fanzine published by Harry Turner, co-edited by his future wife, Marion Eadie, from #2 while #6 was co-edited with Derek Pickles..
The first two issues appeared in Futurian War Digest and were poetry by Eadie and illustration by Turner. The third, a cover only dated July 1941, wasn't distributed until February 1943. A second series beginning in August 1941 was more substantial, including in its first issue contributions from John F. Burke, Ted Carnell, Maurice K. Hanson, and C. S. Youd as well as Turner's fine artwork. Later issues featured articles and stories by Eadie, D. R. Smith, and Arthur C. Clarke.
In 2012, Steven H Silver produced a special issue of his fanzine, Argentus, entitled From Argentus to Zenith, which reprinted an issue of Zenith, ran new articles with the same titles as in that issue of Zenith, and included a biography of Turner.
