From Mike Burrows:
Found this chap whilst on holiday in Spain in the nineties. I reckoned he might have been Jet-Ace Logan, a comic book favourite of mine. I knew that Jet - Ace was fairly popular in Europe and that translated reprints and new story strips specifically created for the European market had been published, even a Finnish cartoonist , Pertri Hiltuner had created a spoof of Jet-Ace called Rocket Reynolds, under the pseudonym "Valentin Kalpa". It was only when I got out of the shop and into the Spanish sunshine that I could read the tiny lettering on the spaceman's back -copyright K.F.S. 1990 Comics. K.F.S. I thought...Kings Features Syndicate - I realised I'd bought a model of Flash Gordon - still I did pose the question why was he dressed as Jet-Ace Logan?!!!
A Burrows special! I love finding stuff on holiday too! The little diorama so reminds me of the 1965 Revell Model kit Flash Gordon and the Martian http://www.hakes.com/images.asp?ItemNo=73591&ImageNo=001
