(Did you mean the fanspeak term or Fantast Medway booksellers?)
The Fantast was a U.K. fanzine (nicknamed Fay) published first by C. S. "Sam" Youd (John Christopher) from April 1939 until March 1941 (issues 1–9) when it was taken over by John F. Burke (co-editor issues 9–10) and Douglas Webster (issues 10–14) ending in July 1942. It published early fiction and poetry by Youd, Arthur C. Clarke, Charles Eric Maine and others.
