I've been trying to find the names of the artists who drew those strips in 1967 and 1968 but can't locate any info, and how many Saint strips appeared in the comic too? Thanks.

After researching this,I know believe that other than sporadic text stories,the Voyage strip lasted from issues 1-6 only.
All of these were 2 pages in black and white.
Issue 1 "The Seaviews Ghost"
Issue 2 "The Green Monsters of the Deep".
Issue 3 "Crime Island ...

May I ask, what is your favourite Anderson show?
Personally I am a massive fan of Four Feather Falls, Fireball XL5, Captain Scarlet, UFO, Thunderbirds, Space 1999 series 1.....


Space:1999 is at the top of my list, as anyone will gather from the comic anyhology for it.

I had hoped that further ...

Odd.... I read something about you doing a series of podcasts but I guess that was false information


I certainly never had any intention of doing so - I prefer being behind the camera, not in front of it - but have no idea if those behind the comic anthologies wanted me to. I deferred on the ...

I THOUGHT I once read a chronology for ON THE BUSES there and imagined I had dreamt it as couldn't find it again.
Either way: I am SLOWLY (just been so busy) doing a chronology of the ON THE BUSES strips here.


As said, it may have been up somewhere originally & taken down.

I asked for an ...

IN REALITY......

Only ONE MAN has ever written about this lost to time 34 paged document and would therefore be reasonable to suggest that that person is the owner of the script ....

No. I've only done one podcast for someone else, and that was about the UFO comic anthologies.

If you don't mind my correcting you on a few facts here...

Into Infinity: The Day After Tomorrow was commissioned as part of an educational US series called 'Special Treat'.

It was produced between the two Years of Space:1999, and it was Gerry Anderson who tried to make it a back door pilot for a ...

Addenda on Chronology...

I found my document for this, so the text for the synopsis and other details are mine.

Chronology

Story One
22/05/71 - No.20 to 10/07/71 - No.27
Eccentric hunter Sir Ellery Barrett was branded a coward by Harriman Nelson while on safari three years ago, but now wants to ...
