MONSTER COVER QUIZ

Which monster movie do you reckon this old Spanish book cover is based on readers?

See if you come up with the same as me!

RODAN AND KING GHIDORAH IN NEW JERSEY

Hi Woodsy. Just spotted these at WalMart. New Godzilla toys from Jaaks Pacific. My first impression is that they are not as detailed as say, Bandai or X Plus, but they are reasonably priced and they are the first toys of the newly designed Rodan and King Ghidorah.

Godzilla King of the Monsters premiers on May 31 in the U.S.

TOY FIGURES QUERY

Hi Woodsy

It's Norman, the Frank Bellamy nutter here!

I was clearing out a load of stuff and found the toy 'soldiers'.

Do you [or Moonbase] know where they came from and does anyone want them before I shove them on ebay in case there's someone out there who wants them?

Thanks

Norman

COVER MYSTERY

I had thought this old Spanish cover art was a 'inspired' by the Last Starfighter [below] but I'm not so sure now at all. What do you think readers?

INTO THE BLACK HOLE

Having a bit of lazy Sunday afternoon and thought I'd re-watch the cult 1979 Disney sci-fi flick, The Black Hole.

I remember watching it when it first came out at the cinema and thinking it's a bit like 20,000 leagues in Space, although I suppose as it has that metaphysical ending maybe I should have called it 2001 leagues in Space.

What ever I still find it an enjoyable film, and would love it if MPC re-released their huge USS Cygnus kit. I do, however have a couple of small items of Black Hole merchandise which I'm happy to own, thanks to our mega blog friend, Arto, who sent me this V.I. N. CENT bottle opener and Maximillian key ring as my Christmas present one year.

So time to settle down and join the crew of the USS Palomino as it approaches The Black Hole....

EAGLE ANNUAL NUMBER 8

Hello Woodsy

I found my Eagle Annuals. In flipping through Number 8 which I think was 1957/58 I came across these nice SF illustrations so thought I would share them with you.

#3 is a moon rocket that may carry a nuclear warhead, hardly Dan Dare
