I now present the second FIREBALL XL5 story from the TV COMIC Annual for 1964. Artist NEVILLE MAIN does a good job in capturing the look of the TV show, considering that the tale was aimed at a younger readership than the MIKE NOBLE strips in TV CENTURY 21. The editor of TV21 for its first three years was ALAN FENNELL, who also wrote scripts for various GERRY ANDERSON TV shows. Having been involved with TV Comic prior to TV21, it's not altogether unlikely that he may have written the above story, though obviously I can't say whether he did or not with any certainty.
Anyway, enjoy the adventures of the XL5 crew and remember to look out for more in upcoming posts.
