THE NEW BOSS

With Shado Con just over a week away, I'm still filled with the spirit of UFO, so here's a couple of photos taking their inspiration from the  Countdown UFO comic strip   'The New Boss' which started in issue 12 (dated May 8th, 1971).

In the story, General Calper, has taken command of SHADO, and intends to reveal the alien presence to the world.  He pulls a gun on Ed Straker, who strikes him down, and steals a racing car from the studio lot.

The General issues orders for Straker to be found, and shot on sight. Paul Foster driving a Mobile, is first to track him down only to face a terrible dilemma!
