FESTIVE FIREBALL...



In the 1964/'65 FIREBALL XL5 Annual, ALAN FENNEL (future editor of TV CENTURY 21, LOOK-IN, and writer of various GERRY ANDERSON TV shows) wrote ROBERT ON THE RAMPAGE, a story set against a Christmas party background. (He wrote all the stories and features in the book.) I believe ERIC EDEN drew this four-page tale, being one of four artists who illustrated the Annual, so - continuing our Festive theme - here it is in all its glory for your personal perusal and appreciation. Enjoy.
  




"And everyone has a happy time." Yeah - everyone except Robert, that is. I hope he punches Steve's lights out in a rematch. If Eden wasn't the artist of this tale, then it was either EDDIE PAUL, GERRY EMBLETON, or GERRY WOOD - you can take your pick.

NEXT: THE MENACE AT CHRISTMAS!
