*Gold Key/Whitman: I guess you have to be getting on for my age to remember the original TV run of Gerry Anderson’s puppet Series Fireball XL5 from 1962; it was the one that came between Supercar and Stingray and featured the crew of the eponymous spaceship: Commander/Pilot Steve Zodiac, Doctor Venus, Prof Matthew Matic and co-pilot Robby the Robot. Celebrated in UK comic strip form in TV Comic and TV Century 21, there was only one outing in an American comic: Gold Key’s ‘Steve Zodiac and the Fireball XL5’ from 1963. A lovely copy on offer here, with stunning painted cover in superior condition.
