*Annuals: If you’re like me, you just love these imagined futures from the 50s and 60s, when spaceships had rivets, saucers were flying, women were princesses and aliens were green. Four great examples in this update. The All Worlds Album (softcover), had a mixture of sci-fi, western, adventure, funnies and features, the star attraction being Swift Morgan and the Feathered Serpent by Dennis McLoughlin. The one-off Planet Adventure Book from Atlas 1962 (card covers) reprinted classic sci-fi from the pages of Fiction House’s Planet Comics, the leading US science-fiction comic of the 40s and 50s. Space Kingley and the Secret Squadron (hardcover 1954) had a mix of illustrated text and picture strips, on superior paper with many glossy colour plates and stylish art from R W Jobson. Little is known about Whopper Space Stories (hardcover), another mix of illustrated text and picture strip, but it has a very evocative cover.
