My favorite story was Alerte au Pedalosaure, which I used to read to my kids (in English)when they were tots.<BR/><BR/>I really appreciate your posting the Tom Corbett strips. Like you, I enjoy 1950s space comics and shows. When I was quite young I read the series of Tom Corbett novels (illustrated by comic artist/illustrator Lou Glanzman). <BR/><BR/>I own a tape of one episode of the TV show, and I'll tell you...the budget on the comics was much larger!Smurfswackerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11807173070389349098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25254614.post-82836289316930938342009-03-07T00:45:00.000-08:002009-03-07T00:45:00.000-08:00That should be Cubitus, of course.

I have more of Ray Bailey's comic strip version (which I think would be an excellent candidate for a comple reprint series), but there is also Norman Maurer's Rocky X (which you can find at several places on the web) and more.<BR/><BR/>By the way, do you read Cebutus in French or Dutch?Ger Apeldoornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03633862833036214748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25254614.post-90562051708801328612009-03-06T20:10:00.000-08:002009-03-06T20:10:00.000-08:00Rather a fast job, but still nice work from Meskin...Rather a fast job, but still nice work from Meskin. I miss the days when one could make a concept futuristic by sticking "space" onto the front.
