The 1984 cover art is by an artist I don't recognize. I painted the endpaper of the 1981 Annual, the Contents page, a double-spread qame page and wrote and illustrated a one-page feature on the history of Buck Rogers. All the artists worked freelance for Stafford Pemberton. Their offices were opposite Tatton Park in Knutsford, Cheshire. Always a friendly place to visit. The staff and artists previously worked for World Distributors in Manchester. - Paul GreenPaul Greenhttp://www.thevirginiantv.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3893206653438189717.post-18137028845041500612015-10-25T17:29:24.522-04:002015-10-25T17:29:24.522-04:00merci beaucoup , j'adore ces affiches dessinée...merci beaucoup , j'adore ces affiches dessinées des années 80 et bravo pour ton super blog !

In another, Buck meets an elephant headed alien who is wanted by two warring races for reasons I forget. She somehow sacrifices herself so that neither race "wins". I realise those details are a bit vague, but its been a *very* long time since I read those stories!F-ZeroOnenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3893206653438189717.post-42783801445397418102012-12-04T15:04:20.503-05:002012-12-04T15:04:20.503-05:00Shaqui suggested Edgar Hodges as artist.Shaqui suggested <a href="http://www.mausoleumclubforum.org.uk/xmb/viewthread.php?tid=25439&page=1#pid340799" rel="nofollow">Edgar Hodges</a> as artist.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09034057077448097619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3893206653438189717.post-91276785915536260162012-12-04T09:18:48.268-05:002012-12-04T09:18:48.268-05:00I had the 81 annual I didn`t know that they produc...I had the 81 annual I didn`t know that they produced 3 more of them tho`<br />There were also 2 blakes 7 annuals 79,80 I thinkGWhttp://www.google.co.nz/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3893206653438189717.post-35850453137181042742012-12-03T19:36:14.718-05:002012-12-03T19:36:14.718-05:00A guy named Bill Anchors used to run a mail order ...A guy named Bill Anchors used to run a mail order company named Star Tech out of TN, it was through this company that I found the British Annuals in 1984/85. I managed to pick up several volumes of Knight Rider and The A-Team, and single volumes of Airwolf, V, and Street Hawk. The best thing to me about the annuals were the sometimes rare photos published within. Star Tech carried all sorts of British import books, models kits, etc. 70's kids might enjoy Anchors short lived magazine called Epi-Log which contained extensive episode guides of tons of series from the 60's to the 90's. The best features being actual interviews with cast or crew from various series done by freelancers.<br /><br />However some of the most interesting reading in Epi-Log were Anchors editorial rants and his intense dislike of Beauty and The Beast actress Linda Hamilton.Scotthttp://www.the-greatest-american-hero.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3893206653438189717.post-20699058931252968872012-12-03T14:16:08.433-05:002012-12-03T14:16:08.433-05:00Hi - not sure if this is helpful or not but Wikipe...Hi - not sure if this is helpful or not but Wikipedia has a list of "Buck Rogers" comic strip artists:<br /><br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Buck_Rogers_comic_strips<br /><br />British artists who worked on the series are a little way down. Frustratingly, there appears to be a signature in the bottom right corner of the 1982 annual, by the Starfighter wing, but its not very legible at the image size - maybe someone who owns the annual could send it in? (even more frustratingly, I actually own the 1982 and 1983 annuals but they've long since gone to flea sale heaven, I'm afraid... )F-ZeroOnenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3893206653438189717.post-27661119805496313202012-12-03T06:28:48.280-05:002012-12-03T06:28:48.280-05:00these were pumped out with no love - a few comics ...these were pumped out with no love - a few comics - terrible puzzles, some fiction, some space facts about nasa - i have just described most of these books - the older the better - 60s trek ones are better and the dalek world ones are great - even though i was a huge dr who fan one issue of dr who monthly was better - the annuals made me cry with disapointmentKonsumterrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18170560484656800416noreply@blogger.com
