Further to my earlier Terrornauts post, here's some examples of the vintage Swift Morgan comic strip, drawn by Denis McLoughlin.
Created in 1948, between Denis and his brother, Colin, Swift Morgan was Britain's first Sci-fi picture strip hero, and Denis was known to call at his local Woolworths and buy cheap toy Tudor Rose robots and rockets and use their designs in some of the Swift Morgan comic strips.
Here's a few examples of the comic strip.
The 'Clipper' seen in the Terrornauts
I believe the robot design was used in the Merit Magic Robot game
Such tremendous artwork back then - those were the days. SFZ
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely, Zigg. All very imaginative, science didn't get a look in!; D
