The THUNDER AGENTS COMPANION...

Are you a T.H.U.N.D.E.R. AGENTS fan?  Then you may be interested in this great softcover volume I picked up (and paid for, naturally) in a local Glasgow comicbook store back around 2005.  Unfortunately, it's too tightly bound to be able to open it wide enough to scan any internal pages, but it's a 'must-have' for all followers of WALLY WOOD's '60s super agents.

However, rather than bore you with my woeful waffle, check out the back cover below to see what this superb book contains.  (Click on image, then click again for optimum size.)

Probably still available, so rush out and buy one today!


Oh, go on then - I'll risk damaging the book to show you just
one page.  I'm far too good to the lot of you, I really am!

DALEKS SWEET CIGARETTE CARDS - PART NINE...

Copyright BBC TV and the Estate of TERRY NATION

Paste your peepers on the penultimate part of CADET's DALEKS SWEET CIGARETTE CARDS, all you frantic fans of the metal-cased mutant maniacs from the far-flung planet SKARO.  Produced in the mid-'60s by a confectionery company, there are only five more cards to be presented in the final part of this scintillating series until you have the complete set, you lucky lovers of DOCTOR WHO's arch-foes from the BBC TV science-fantasy serial.

So remember - don't forget to be here for the final five cards - coming soon!









ACTION MAN ADS (AND MORE)...



What do TOM BAKER and ACTION MAN have in common?  Well, if you're willing to wade through a welter of television commercials from the 1970s, all will be revealed.  Go on, travel back in time today!

"The ULTROIDS ATTACK!" COVER & SPLASH PAGE...

Images copyright MARVEL COMICS

Sometimes I post images on this blog simply because I like them and not because I have any great insight to offer on their background or creation (no change there then, some folk will be thinking) - this is such an occasion.  I first read this story in a British weekly periodical called FANTASTIC in the late 1960s and I just love DON HECK's artwork.  The examples here come from a 1975 reprint of the tale (AVENGERS #36) in MARVEL TRIPLE ACTION #28.

So - just thought I'd share the cover and splash page with all you Marvelites.  Enjoy!  (And if anyone has WANDA's 'phone number, please get in touch.  Va-va-voom!)
