A Complete Waste of Space

That reminds me of the Tangy & Laverdure comics I used to read as a kid. Blatant Mirage propaganda but well drawn.

a friend who immigrated to Canada from Portugal turned me on to Tangy & Laverdure (even if I couldn't read em for being in Port.) , but could never get or find them here back then of course....

The comic has been published in English in the British comic magazine Lion between April and September 1966 under the title The Flying Furies. The main characters were renamed with English names, Tanguy became Jim Power and Laverdure Terry Madden. There was an annual published in 1973 with the title The Aeronauts, the same title as the TV series received in Britain. This annual was a compilation of two original albums, 11. Destination Pacifique and 12. Menace sur Mururoa.

That Ball-sack had 9 engines, crashed twice, and killed the pilots both times.
