Ever since our man in Japan Terry spotted a random Booster Rocket drawing in a Japanese Captain Scarlet comic I've had a good look at any new vintage Japanese merchandise online. It paid off last week when I saw something in this Lost In Space record and comic from 1966.
One of the pages features, yes, another random Booster Rocket as pictured on the right below! It's presumably been influenced heavilly by Ed Valigursky's painting in the Man and Space book. Whay the comic book artist should choose the Booster for a Lost in Space story is a mystery.
The same question can be asked of the random Booster found by Terry last year in the Scarlet strip [at least that's Gerry Anderson], which I've included here again for comparison along with Valigursky's original painting and the SWORD box art for good measure! What do you think?

Perhaps the article in which the Booster appears is not directly connected with Lost in Space. It may just be a "filler" article. Or perhaps it is one attempting to show that Lost in Space might one day be real?
Sigh. If only we could read Japanese, eh? Why didn't they teach that in school instead of French?
