Been way too long since we last gaped in wonder at the incredible art of Jesus Blasco, so here he is with one of his all-time classics, and an all-time fave of my old pal David Holman's: The Lektrons!
Louis Crandell aka. The Steel Claw had been away from
Valiant for a while, following his massively wrong-headed turn as a silver-spangled superhero ( alluded to here ).
Happily, on his return he was back to what passed for normal, though it's noticable that he was much more heroic looking, much less sallow, and now armed with a burgeoning third division footballer haircut & a never ending supply of groovy polo necks.
Regardless, the invisible secret agent was back to doing what he did best, saving the world from alien invasion!
In Blasco's hands, this really does feel a teatime serial they'd put on before
Blue Peter,
or the kind of b/w film BBC2 used to run on a Sunday afternoon.
Look out! Run! Hide! Only The Steel Claw can save us from... The Lektrons!
