Thanks for this - some of the Charlton comic strips were reprinted in the 1978 UK Space 1999 annual, including a story where Koenig gets blasted into space without the helmet to his space suit when his Eagle blows up, it's a cracking story. Off topic, but just to let you know some of your Blakes 7 In Character podcasts won't play as the play button is missing from the page, for example off the Fight Club episode, which I fancied listening to again. Cheers, Mark.
Very cool - Love that cover art! These comic books are from a short run of only seven issues. Prior to this Charlton also produced a Space 1999 magazine, with articles and B&W strips, and which only ran for eight issues. I've not come across either of these myself in the UK, but they do pop up on Ebay fairly regularly.
I believe that there was also an Italian Space: 1999 comic book, with some properly startling artwork on the covers. It would make sense, as the show was a UK/Italy co-production, between ITC and RAI. They might be Charlton reprints with new covers, but I dimly remember seeing some at a comic fair, back in the late 1980's.
I definitely want to get star trek doctor who and space 1999 vintage comics. eBay is being difficult. I keep trying to put more details in so I can buy stuff. I'll get there eventually lol 😆
Lovely find 👍and in untouched condition . Space: 1999 wonderful, don't remember seeing these comics as a kid because would have absolutely been collecting them. I have picked up the collected comic volumes to fill the comic book void for this great series.
5:15 very much like the Star Trek strips of Joe90 and early Tv21, they seemed to have very little reference material. I mean Captain Kurt commanded the Enterprise in those early strips for Trek There were 15 Space 1999 Charlton issues iirc, between 75-76. Some were reprinted in the final uk annual and some are in the excellent Anderson collection "To everything that was" Cheers Mickey Rat
