TV21 SWORD TEXT STORY: SCAPEGOAT

Well Swordies, here's the next SWORD text story from TV21 hot off Toadster's press: SCAPEGOAT. This two-pager appeared on the 17th August 1968 - alas page 15 is missing, which we don't have access to [anyone help?]. With a story by Angus Allen, it features a brilliant black and white drawing of Zero-X by Mike Noble and according to the cool GACCH site, this was his only foray into illustrating SWORD. To read it you may need to zoom in. Enjoy and thank the ever-givin' Toad!

Same time next week!

Oh no, hope someone's got the missing page. Got to find out how Malone gets on.
Wonder if this is the only SWORD story featuring Zero X!

BTW I checked out that Mike Noble picture in my old TV21 Zero X comic strips. I reckon it's been taken from previous issue no. 114.

Really Mike? Any chance of a scan of that strip or the bit with Zero X in it?

Consider it done, Woodsy
