Our centrespread features Graham Bleathman's cutaway of Spacefleet's XC-9 Deep Space Cruiser, coloured by Martin Baines.
John Russell Fearn's The Golden Amazon saga continues with eight pages of Chapter Two, The Undersea Quest, Part One. Again, Martin Baines has done a fine job of colouring to bring the original black & white strip to life.
In our second article, Sydney Jordan and Chris Tubb details the story of the short-lived Planet on Sunday newspaper's Dan Dare strip.
The Frontiers of Space takes us back to the 1950s with visions of how it was planned to set up a permanent Moon Base.

As the festive season approaches, may I wish all, A Very Happy Christmas.
