Space Captain Smith

interesting I’ve never heard of them but I may check it out. Last Sci-fi comedy I read was Phule’s Company series by Robert Asprin it was a good laugh.

Will you be using them for gaming, or just looking to model the crew for your own satisfaction?

I’ll be giving these a look see.  A good comedy is always welcome.

Been trying to find some comic books from my youth (back in the 70s), all I remember was they they came in the A5 Commando/War format (colour covers and black and white artwork), were British (a bit like the original Dan Dare but different). All I can remember is them taking off in a 50s style rocket ship to a colony world only to find it deserted…until night falls. And then you guessed it the whole planet is now full of Vampires desperate to hi jack the hero’s ship and make it back to earth. The original publishing date I would guess back in the 60s as a Dan Dare knock off (but I’ve no idea as too the hero’s name, it was all very “Biggles in SPAAACCCEEE”). Might have been an edition of Starblazer (I know I had some of those as a kid second hand of the local Market Stall that sold stacks of those A5 comic books (to Kids and Squaddies alike) but I think it dated back to much earlier than that (the artwork was more like the stuff you saw in the early Eagle comic), any ideas from the elder ones in the forum?

No, something a lot earlier than that (Planet of Vampires was more like the US/Marvel comics of the time). This was in a thicker book than the usual Commando/War comics (a bit like the annuals they did) and had 2 or 3 stories in it. It’s driven me mad for years now, the hours wasted trying to find it via google (sigh). But one day, one day, someone out there will know what I’m wittering on about 😀
