"I WISH I WAS A SPACEMAN..."

MIKE NOBLE still illustrates today as well as he ever did. Age took its toll on the talents of KIRBY and DITKO, but you'd be hard-pushed to find any deterioration between the quality of what he produced week after week in the pages of  TV COMIC, TV CENTURY 21 and LOOK-IN (and many other titles) back in the '60s, '70s and '80s, and the occasional commissions he undertakes today.

It's said that a picture is worth a thousand words - here's TWO pictures which prove that little adage a thousand times over. Above, the cover of the 1966/'67 FIREBALL XL5 ANNUAL; below, the cover to one of the disc holders in the complete DVD collection of the same programme.
