John Freeman, on Downthetubes.net, shares some exciting news on his site:
Publisher Marcus Hearn also tells us: "We've just uncovered an amazing batch of original Frank Bellamy artboards, so if and when we do another volume we'll be including them."Let's hope we see that too - Marcus we'd love a Bellamy only volume - and would die to see a landscape - no gutter version.
Anyway back to the point of this entry.
Marcus heads up Signum Books and this is Chris Bentley 's fifth outing in this series. The theme this time - can you guess - is space! Therefore we have the following Bellamy illustrated stories:
- Thunderbirds - The Eye of Jupiter Script: Scott Goodall Art: Frank Bellamy (Originally published in TV Century 21 issues 147 - 154 , November-December 2067)
- Thunderbirds - The Space Mirror Script: Scott Goodall Art: Frank Bellamy (Originally published in TV Century 21 issues 137 - 140, September 2067)
- Thunderbirds - The Barracuda Awaits Script: Scott Goodall Art: Frank Bellamy (Originally published in TV Century 21 issues 179-183, June-July 2068)
You can buy via the usual channels (including the Amazon widget I use) - the ISBN is 978-0956653420 - but Signum are offering Gerry Anderson signed copies - follow this link: http://www.signumbooks.com/buybooks.htm
And just so we always have some of the great man's work on these blog entries here's a scene I like from "The Space Mirror", a very short story at 4 double page spreads!

Fascinating stuff - and especially pleased by your choice of illustration from The Space Mirror. I am the proud owner of the original artwork from this spread and for almost 30 years this framed strip hung above my fireplace as the centrepiece of my living room. I recently moved house and have not got round to re-hanging my Bellamy masterpieces - thanks for the timely reminder!
Tony, it's good to hear from you again - but you know me, which episode is it? I hope it's kept out of the sun!
Don't ask me, I didn't even know the story was called The Space Mirror until I read your piece. The original is well out of any sun but down the decades has faded a little and one of the word balloons (stuck on separately) is missing. But I still love it.
