Description

Grimsdale and Puckle were happy with the sales figures for their first issue of Space Science Digest, although they were still below the peak sales figures of the late 1950s. In an effort to boost sales they took the decision to strengthen links with the British Rocket Group, unaware that time was running out for Professor Quatermass and his valiant team of boffins... I have no idea where I found this lovely space station, but it looks so cool and has been on the hard drive/disc for at least 6 years! Thanks for looking and because of the popularity of these covers I will keep going... Iain

Poor Professor Quatermass, if only he'd ralised, I remember it like it was yesterday.....but enough, everyone knows that story so I'll leave it there.Another great cover Iain, so glad you've descided to dig out a few more, excellent artwork, space travel may have moved on but Magazine covers have never gotten any better than this.........

Fantastic cover, Iain. When Grimsdale and Puckle took over SSD didn't they try to get Crudworthy to write for them?

Why do I think the (un)fortunate winner of the contest happened to be on site when Something Happened..... Keep this up and you'll have enough issues for a datebook with one cover a week.
