FRISWELL'S FREAKY FEATURES: Alien animals

Some months ago Alan Friswell, the bloke who made the CFZ Feegee Mermaid and also the guy responsible for some of the most elegantly macabre bloggo postings, wrote me an email. He had an idea for a new series for the bloggo. Quite simply, he has an enormous collection of macabre, fortean, odd and disturbing magazine and newspaper articles, and he proposed to post them up on the bloggo.

ABSTRUSE ALIENS ABSTAIN FROM ACTUALITY, ALBEIT AFTER ALTERNATIVE AND ALLITERATIVE AFTERTHOUGHTS

This should surely be put under the heading, 'So crap, it's great'. To be fair, I used to love reading about this kind of thing in 70s comics such as Valliant, and Smash--anyone remember them? I suppose that cryptozoology is perfectly workable on other planets as well as our own, but in any case, I love the artwork.

  1. Spencer Jones as Astronomer Royal? This dates it to the 1950's. Wasn't he the one who said space travel was 'bunk' just before they launched Sputnik?
