United KingdomOnce again, the Anderson stable has hit the front running with another comic strip compendium that takes me back to my childhood years. I was an avid reader of TV21 as a small child, progressing on to both Countdown and Look-In (from which this edition is drawn). I’ve always wished I still had my weekly copies - particularly of TV Century 21 - but you don’t see them very often on eBay and when you do; well, I’m too old to carry out bank robberies! But these comic compendiums are superb, compiling the original strips in their completeness on quality paper contained within lovely, satin-finish board covers. I’ve already purchased UFO Volumes 1 & 2 and Fireball XL5, so adding this Space 1999 compendium was a no brainier. In this instance, the strips are drawn from the Look-In comic. In my opinion, the artwork didn’t quite match the wonderful offerings by TV Century 21 (at its best, at any rate) but are good nonetheless and this edition is a must-have addition for any serious fan of the original comics and, indeed, the Anderson universe. Next up… Stringray. Oh yes! But Jaimie… please, please, please consider adding a Zero X comic compendium from the pages of TV Century 21. This was my absolute fave as a child (should have had its own series but I assume was not pursued in favour of good old Captain Scarlet). They were cracking strips, though, with outstanding artwork.
United KingdomLike previous collections of comic artwork I have bought from you, this was a great compilation of every Space: 1999 comic strip originally published in Look-In and associated annuals in the 1970s. It nicely complements the Space: 1999 Shock and Awe volume, which has superior colour artwork. While I liked the current volume very well, I preferred the earlier UFO two-volume set of stories, whose artwork was just that bit more faithful to the original TV shows. What is nice about the current volume is the storylines that the writers came up with, which have interesting plots. However, the original artists did not seem to have as much access to studio reference material, and the Eagle Transporter was always drawn slightly differently. For example, each Eagle has only two lift-engines (the studio model has four lift engines on the main frame (plus four additional engines on the centre pods). Again, the main cluster of four main engines at the rear is sometimes rendered as three engines instead! Then, the cutaways in the "beak" command module are sometimes glassed over, as if they were large window panels. And finally, the pilots descended from the command module via a kind of ladder, whereas in the show they always exited through the centre habitat module. So I guess I was not quite as emotionally invested in this volume as in the previous three I have bought. As always, it was nicely packaged and delivered on time, and it will find a place on my bookshelf alongside the previous three volumes! May I put in a request for the Countdown signature serial from the Countdown comic?
United StatesThis book is Amazing! I looked through it on arrival, and it's next in my reading queue. The only reason I'm not on it yet is that I'm still savoring my way through the UFO volumes. Thank you for making this available. A Beautiful piece of work!
United StatesVery Good. I would recommend.
United StatesThis is a fantastic book. Love the paper quality. The book is large and displays the artwork well. The reproduction is top notch. Reading these stories, I feel like a kid again. Thank you.
