The first frame is Talbot-esque Minx but I do not really think it is him, just a wee bit similar---maybe the black ink backing.

Those pages are early work by the brilliant Argentine artist Enrique (Quique) Alcatena who went on to draw some of the best issues of Starblazer.

Thanks, Phil!

Starblazer artists are not exactly my forte.

Quique's work is stunning. His first work for Thomson's was Arena in The Crunch. After that, one of the serials he did was Fighting Tom Hawk for the Hotspur and a large number of Starblazers. There is more of his work, but I am beggared if I can name it at the moment. He has also worked for DC and published Windward which was his take on the Odyssey. I might have a page of that around here somewhere... :P
