The High Ways

"Hold on a minute, this isn't British comic art!"  you say. And you'd be (sorta) right. John Byrne was born in West Bromwich and when he was 8 his family emigrated to Canada. He's a big star in American comics but he's quite a fan of Dan Dare and the Eagle. After his family had emigrated his aunt sent him bundles of Eagle comics from the UK. Anyway, I was looking at the first issue of The High Ways and what do I spot in one of the lockers where the guy is suiting up? I see a Space Fleet helmet. Cool, eh?
