Titan, 1981 - 1989. Soft Cover. G - Good. A collection of Gerry Anderson themed magazines including Issue #1 of Action 21, 6 issues of S.I.G. and a very rare programme from the first run of the FAB stage show. S.I.G. In early 1981, David Nightingale launched a fanzine called Supermarionation Is Go! (from issue 4, titled S.I.G.).

What makes Bellamy's story so particular is his development into a pre-eminent graphic artist,… Read More
