| I was interested to see this one in the Australian and New Zealand comics group, because I wasn't aware of any superhero ones from there. Although published in NZ, it makes references to Canberra, a fictitious Australian Prime Minister, and a secret city beyond the icy bits of Antarctica. It was a fun story for the time, though the role of the two women consisted of falling in a heap when the spacecraft moved suddenly. Maybe they do more in other issues. I liked the way the story filled the whole issue, but it finishes on a cliffhanger and it doesn't look like we have the next issue. EEK! Some of the art is good, especially of the difference planes and spacecraft, but the dialogue balloons have a very homemade feel to them. It looks a bit more like a zine than a comic book. But I did enjoy seeing something from Down Under in this time period. |

| Note on page 7, the image of the globe shows Australia, whereas typical American comics/Hollywood films, etc., always show the Western Hemisphere (and the USA) in similar images. |
|
| Yes, I liked the inclusion of the map showing Australia, being from Down Under myself. Not the most riveting comic I've read, but it was good to see a different perspective from that era. |
