Thanks for publicising this, Jim. I remember watching all the Anderson series up to UFO on their first outings, and was totally bonkers about Thunderbirds and Captain Scarlet in particular, but somehow I missed this one. Maybe I thought I was too old for it. If so, I've regressed in old age.

Those wanting to know who wrote and drew the Charlton stories can see the credits for the magazine at https://www.comics.org/series/2209/ and for the comic book at https://www.comics.org/series/2208/. You need to click on each issue number to get that issue's credits.

Many thanks Goof,Space 1999 was originally UFO series 2,hence both having bases on the moon.
I originally read these strips between the ages of 7 - 11 so at the age of 55 now,I have also regressed !!
