THUNDERBIRDS ARE GO!

Way back in December, 1966, just in time for Christmas, the Daily Mail began serialising the 'Thunderbirds Are Go!' film in a small strip. Artwork was by the great Don Lawrence. Here it is in its entirety.

  2. The strip is Fab, but as the Daily Mail was printed in black on white paper, why is the strip in blue ?

    1. Hi Mish, the strip comes from a digital archive, so the scans are pretty low res. Not easy on the eye, so I tinted them a Zero X blue to make it a bit easier to see and less obvious where they came from!
