PRESIDENT: THE WORLD ARMY HOVER TANK


A gorgeous PRESIDENT Hover tank design from the pages of TV21, 23rd March 1968.

Is it an Eric Eden illustration readers?

  2. I always wondered about this one Bill - when I first saw it back in the day my gut reaction was that it's definitely Mike's work but looking again at the foliage in the background I feel it lacks a certain "definition" i.e Mike would have made the fronds and leaves more pronounced than appears here. A slim difference I know but these days I reckon it's Eric Eden - would love to know for certain tho'. I know Mike's memory is notoriously bad for such things but I'll give him a shout.

    1. It may have also appeared in the Battle Breakdown pages in the 1969 TV21 annual Mike. Had a look at GACCH on Wayback Machine but no joy as to the Hover Tank artist https://web.archive.org/web/20160402203446/http://technodelic.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/Annuals/Annuals02.htm
