Thanks for publicising this, Jim. I remember watching all the Anderson series up to UFO on their first outings, and was totally bonkers about Thunderbirds and Captain Scarlet in particular, but somehow I missed this one. Maybe I thought I was too old for it. If so, I've regressed in old age.

Many thanks Goof,Space 1999 was originally UFO series 2,hence both having bases on the moon.
I originally read these strips between the ages of 7 - 11 so at the age of 55 now,I have also regressed !!
