Space Sherlocks

After I saw Malcom Stokes identified as the SWORD artist, Ive been reminded of another thorn in my side, the identity of the artist who prepared the adverts in comics in 1970 for the Triang Spacex toys. These turned up in kids comics such as Valour, Buster and Lion and featured the new models from the rebranded series. The style looks suspiciously familiar and could be the work of a jobbing artist on a freelance basis or just an in houe illustrator for Triang, but i'd love to know. Anyone any ideas ?

  1. Good to see the ads. Any chance of making the first a clicky like the others? I'm too blind to read anything that small these days!

    Also, probably the comic was Valiant rather than Valour? Not that I know much about comics...
