Xmas Ad-vent

 Recent forays into various old British comics unearthed a rare treat when I found a copy of a scanned Buster comic from December 1969 on the rather fabulous 'Scanarama' group. Previously unseen, the ad shows the Booster Rocket in a monochrome version of the lavish painting featured in the annual. Its supported by the staple Prospector, Scramble Bug and Glider and includes one of the last SWORD toys to be released from the Scout trio.

  1. Fab Wote! the black and white Booster is clearly the same as colour Booster illustration. Wonder who painted it?

    Are there any more Ads?
