Galaxy Laser Team are a fascinating bunch of space heroes. We've covered them afore on MC, including the re-launch by Tim Mee toys some years back.
You can't keep a good toy down so I had another browse for GLT. Turns out they even had a strip in an Argentinian kids' comic back in 1980.
No pint re-inventing the laser. It was Secret Fun Blog's post from 2012 where I found out first. The links to the comic strips are dud so surfing on I came across what I think are the comics and the strips in a great 2023 GLT piece on Toy Nostalgia. Its in Spanish so use Translate.
There's some great comparisons between Galaxy Laser Team and SF milestones like Ralph McQuarrie's apes and Sean Connery's Zardoz.
What do you think? How come GLT never made it in any other comics?
Wowee - I had never seen these cool spacemen before, and they are terrific! You are right - sort of a cross between Star Wars and Zardoz! SFZ
