SWIFT MORGAN

 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.

I believe the robot design was used in the Merit  Magic Robot game
