Elsewhere on this blog I related the tale of how, about a year or so ago, a friend of mine turned up at my door one evening with a bag full of comics that I had given him about 30 years before. "I thought you might like some of these back!" he said . Amongst other treasures (some of which I previously told you about), the bag of goodies contained the first ten issues of D.C. THOMSON's STARBLAZER pocket-sized science-fiction comic-mag.
Starblazer managed a respectable 281 issues before it succumbed to the 'Death Star' of cancellation due to declining sales. Launched in April 1979, it finally crash-landed in January 1991, but is fondly remembered by those readers who supported the title during its almost twelve year orbit.

Therfore, I thought you might like to see the covers, front and back, of those selfsame first ten issues, to savour at your leisure. I'll do it in two parts, so here's the first five to start things off. Enjoy.
Keep your eyes peeled for PART 2 in a future post.
