Description

This particular daily comes from the 1960 adventure, �Survival�, something that I consider to be an artistic highpoint for the strip (and a really neat dark, moody and claustrophobic pot-boiler of a story). The artwork for this serial is of a consistently high-standard throughout the 71 dailies that comprise the storyline, with few (if any) lacklustre examples.

My introduction to the serial . . .

�Whilst on a deep space voyage, Jeff Hawke�s spacecraft is accidently shot down by a strange alien craft onto a nearby asteroid, with one of the crew members badly injured during the crash-landing. To help make amends for their tragic error, the aliens who caused the accident, �repair and improve� the dying crewman . . . with resulting grave consequences that will soon unfold for Jeff and his team.�

This particular daily is, to my mind, a standout example from a standout serial. Panel one sets the stage as Jeff and his crew put into position the strange alien cylinder that contains the �repaired and improved� crewman. Panel two sees Jeff cautiously unscrewing the cap off the life-healing cylinder . . . leading into a wonderful cliff-hanger of a third and final climactic panel in which the altered �Mac� slowly emerges . . . eyes glowing strangely.

My thanks to Roger Clarke for turning-up for me another exemplary and fondly-remembered example from this long-running, highly-regarded British science-fiction strip . . . and a tip of the old hat to Chris Killackey for helping to rekindle my interests in the work of Sydney Jordan.
