DAN DARE'S FAB SALVAGE CRAFT

This 2000 AD Annual 1980 was part of a large lot of books that came my way last month.

I was never a 2000 AD reader but I now appreciate the effort and following of the comic that emerged in the decaying end of the Seventies.

Browsing through I was attracted to the reds of Dan Dare.

When Bam! What is that ship!*?

There was more at the end too!

I don't know about you but I think the artist has possibly taken inspiration from two sources we know well.

FAB1

and the Triang SpaceX Salvage Craft

Merging them together you get something like this.

What do you think readers?

A CHRISTMAS MESSAGE FROM LOOEY

Merry Christmas,

Looey,

It could be Wurst: Weinermobile Driver Training

It's been quite a while since this showed up at Nellis. The pictures here are from 2008. And of course I have the toys! LOL

Have you had a Hot Dog recently .. or should I say Weiner?

I bought a blind box of old toys on eBay this week, largely because I could see a couple of items in the rest of the junk that I fancied. It arrived today and in the lot was the hulk of a Denys Fisher Revrod (Kenner SSP) which had been in one race too many and had lost its spoiler and engine block. Along with the other bits was a motorcycle engine, with nice twin turbines, so I cannibalised it and fitted it onto the dragster.
