I love Geoff Campion's spaceships in this strip. So improbable (compared to the fully-realised versions in Dan Dare which ran at the same time in the Eagle) and yet they give the strip a certain charm. This is from The Comet, dated October 6th 1956.
Fantastic, Jet Ace one of my favourites from my Younger days along with Dan Dare + Captain Condor. It would be nice if someone published all of Jet Ace Logan stories from the Comet and Tiger, I keep looking but it all looks in vane. Brilliant site, I look forward to all your Posts. Kind Regards.
Oddly enough, each time you read through the Jet-Ace Logan strips the more you appreciate just how good the script-plotting was, first by David Motton then by Frank S Pepper, as well as the highly personalised artwork from the ever-realiable John Gillatt. Excellent stuff...
Yeah, John Gillatt kinda gets over-looked doesn't he? And yet he has an appealing style that lends itself to so many genres. I'll have to put some more of his work up here.

ReplyDeleteThanks for the kind words.
Yeah, a Jet-Ace collection would be nice, eh?
