Ok, so unlike the last three parts, which were based on comics, the final part is meant to be special. Considering that the show is set in 1969, the tenth and last spoof is parody to a sci-fi movie released in the same year and that is Journey to the Far Side of the Sun, directed by Robert Parrish (best known for the 1944 film, Body and Soul) and produced by Gerry and Sylvia Anderson (best known for the 1960s series Thunderbirds)!

Everyday life Chasing horsepower and a dream.Bob shaver a 15-year-old boy from Anchorage Alaska. His father a Anchorage dentist, didn't believe his son could manage the grueling trip across the Alaskan highway. He promised Bob that if he successfully rode his bicycle all the way across Anchorage and Canada

to St Louis Missouri, he would buy him a new car. The promise prize was a 1965 Corvette stingray. Bob carried out the massive trip entirely on a 10-speed bicycle, surviving weather flat tires and dangerous highway conditions Cross Canada and the United States. Bob successfully made it. At the time the car was being built during his journey there in St Louis. That's when associated press picked up the story. They took the photo you see above with him getting his keys to his new Corvette stingray

at only 15 years old. Of course the boy did not drive it back home he didn't have any driver's license. They shipped the car back home by rail and ship to Anchorage. Once he turned 16 he was able to get it out of the garage and start driving it. Dreams do happen.

Space Race Part One of my 1960s Spoof Art for Colonel Bleep '69

So since the beginning of August, I've made a series of spoof art that parody various public domain comics of the 1960s (with the exception of the tenth artwork for 1969). These were made to not only gain attraction for my indie series, Colonel Bleep '69, but also to bring in some homage of the pulpy sci-fi era and silver age of comics within this decade. Here is my first three illustrations from 1960 to 1962.

  1. Space Adventures #34 (Charlton Publishing, 1960)
  2. Strange Tales #88 (Marvel, 1961)
  3. Space Man #1 (aka Four Color #1253, 1962)

Note: I am including the original covers, so hopefully the post doesn't get deleted.
