While I'm in the mood for cutaways, here's a few more I posted a long while back on the blog, this time from the 1966 Thunderbird Annual, showing the Thunderbird craft.
Absolutely Yorkie,the annuals thesedays have very little if any imagination. I certainly don't possess any of the 90's ones which in my opinion were just poor quality and trying to cash in.
Superb pictures Scoop, drawn by Eric Eden I believe. You and Yorkie are absolutely right, the much later ones were poor quality and contain just over half the page count!
TV21 without a doubt still holds the crown for originality and quality.
Yes Indeed, Bill,TV21 was the natural progression from the old Eagle comic. I think it's generally accepted that Eric Eden drew the cutaways. He did live in my home town of Southport for a time.
I've always loved these vintage Anderson cutaways and never tire of seeing them, Scoop. What the Hood would have given to get his hands on these inside perspectives :)
Yes, the Hood is a bit dim, isn't he Tony. He could have just read TV21 instead of planting bombs on Fireflash or posing as a film producer - "my pictures,my beautiful pictures, someone will pay for this!"
Always great to see these. More proof that the 60s annuals were far better made than those today.
