New Worlds magazine was preceded by four issues of a fanzine version (q.v.), which itself followed an earlier fanzine, Novae Terrae — Latin for ‘New Worlds’ — (29 issues, 1936–’39). Wartime paper shortages curtailed the N.W. fanzine’s run, but gave rise after the War to the magazine (141 issues, 1946–’64) (q.v.) edited by John Carnell. Michael Moorcock then took over editorship, and single-handedly transformed it, and the genre itself, into a controversial medium for challenging and experimental speculative fiction by writers such as Brian Aldiss, J.G. Ballard, Michael Butterworth, Samuel R. Delany, Thomas M. Disch, Harlan Ellison, John Sladek, Norman Spinrad, D.M. Thomas and others. The magazine was crucial in the development of the so-called SF New Wave, whilst championing authors as disparate as William S. Burroughs and Mervyn Peake.
