It was pointed out to me recently by one of our readers, Sjaak Bakker, that I gave the impression in my post of 18^th May 2016 that the JHC publication of “Earthspace” was the first time that these particular strips have ever been reprinted.   He was correct to point out that the Earthspace series had indeed been printed under the title “Lance McLane “ by the Italian publisher “Comics in avventura” in a well produced hardback book in 1978. It contains all five Earthspace stories, and the strips are very clearly printed, faithfully retaining all the half-tones and shading   with the strips at their original size .

However t he JHC publication is certainly the first English printing of the series.     Skipper Prossit
