Zack Box 31 - Space 1999 comic (1977)

An image from the Blog Space 1970 for the German Space 1999 comic.  Its wonderful isn't it and there are a couple more images to be found here:

Its a great place to look around so get yourself over there and delight in the very best of sci-fi from one of the finest decades I've ever had the pleasure of playing in.

Space 1999 Iced Lolly TV Advert - (1976)

Lets start 2016 with something impressively obscure

 

Which is from the TV advert for the Lyons Maid Space 1999 iced lolly.  Art by Frank Bellamy, apparently.  Go here;

for this and much more.  I'm not sure I ever had one of these but I do remember the Dalek Lollies featured further down the page.


Happy New Year to you

Space 1999 - Brian the Brain (1976)

Brian the Brain is the ninth episode of the second series of Space 1999 and sees one of the more unusual spacesuits variations.

.

I like a bit of clever recycling of props and costumes but what disturbs me about Koenig's back pack is that whatever it is, there's another one pained grey and stuck to the wall directly in front of him.

The Medusa Touch (1978)

Love The Medusa Touch, I've watched it a quite a few times through the years and it continues to entertain at whatever age.  Here's an brief and fleeting image that has almost nothing to do with the main plot.  These are, however, recycled Space 1999 spacesuits, so we'll make a big deal of it over here.

And for the Italian market the more traditional but inaccurate white coloured space suit...

Which actually looks quite good.

Say; Hello Spaceman - 4 Year Anniversary

The 1st of December will mark Say; Hello Spaceman's 4th Anniversary and its interesting to remind my self of what that particular year was like.

For a number of different reasons 2010 was a fairly wearing time and starting this blog was my way of keeping sane whilst battling through something of a shit-storm of troubles.  None of it was anybody fault, none of it could have been avoided and none of it was down to bad luck so much as just bad timing. Stuff just happened.  Then more stuff happened and then some more stuff happened on top of that.

But you keep on going because what else can you do.  And of course things got better and then things got a lot better and now days life is far more smooth than its crunchy.  And far more fun.

I do this little blog for different reasons now.  After 4 years I think I've built something quite interesting.  I think this blog not only shows us who we used to be but fairly consistently, decade after decade, shows us who we would like to become.  The future beckons and there's something very positive about our unwavering desire to be a part of it.

 

For RP my enduring companion.  Still laughing and loving
