Issue 28 of SOLO from 26th August 1967. Wonderful Prospector cutaway!
Just three more installments and the SOLO Summer of SWORD was [and is] over!
Same time next week [hopefully Thursday! I keep forgetting! Doh!]
Hearty Thanks to Toad for the comic scans.
Excellent stuff. Solo comic is as rare as hen's teeth. Thanks for letting us see them.
ReplyDeleteCheers Yorkie,it's all thanks to the hard work of blogger The Philosophic Toad. Glad you're enjoying them. Not sure if we'll be able to post strips from TV21 so enjoy the rest of SOLO.
ReplyDeleteGreat to see the story again. Much prefer this to TV21 doomsday scenario.
ReplyDeleteAny chance of seeing better scans of the second part (welcome though the first ones were?)
Cheers Andy. I've only read snatches of the TV21 storyline so I'll be a newbie should we be able to post any. As for the Isuue 28, the last two pages of the SWORD strip are scans of photocopies. Can't improve them I'm afraid unless a reader acyually has SOLO #28?
ReplyDeleteThanks Woodsy,
ReplyDeleteI actually meant the photos of the second part of the story (Solo 20?), which I have difficulty in reading- the new photocopies are fine, and I'm pleased to have any copies!
The best part of the TV21 series, for me, was the Ron Embleton art.
I was always disappointed it was just a text story.
Hi Andy
ReplyDeleteIf you can be more specific about the Issue numbers I'll have a look at the photo's I've used and see if they can be improved.
Woodsy
July 1st?
ReplyDeleteit would be great to get a better copy.
Andy.
Ah yes, I see what you mean. They are photo's of my own comic rather than the proper scans Toad did of his. I'll scan them next week and re-post. Thanks for spotting it Andy!
ReplyDeleteCheers
