Ouch! My Spaceship!

I mean I am all for the Stringray polycule ship but Troy is the worst

It definitely comes from media related to the original series - not TAG. In fact, for TAG some people consider Gordon's injuries in SOS to be instead of the hydrofoil crash rather than as well as.

The bios are also where we get the fact that Gordon served in WASP for a year or two (maybe three), was still in WASP when the hydrofoil accident happened, and was in the hospital for around 4 months with 6ish months after that to finish recovering. Gordon is actually less than two years out from the accident when Trapped in the Sky occurs!

Fleetway also shows / references Gordon being in WASP directly, and there's a passing reference to it in TV21 and the annuals as well. I thiiiiiiiiiiiink Redan and maybe one of the storybooks also had mention of Gordon's time in WASP as well - there's an instance when Gordon has to rescue WASP recruits and one of them is someone he knew in WASP, but I can't remember if it's Fleetway or Redan.

A quick note on TaG... if I recall correctly, it isn't just some of the fans that think SOS is the equiv, I'm pretty sure I saw in an interview (text or video, I forget which) that the creative team referred to the SOS event as the equiv of the hydrofoil accident as well.

Superimposing the supermarionation like god intended! 😁

@riallasheng can you please clarify for me . . . are Fleetway and Redan publishers of comics?

Sorry for the overly long delay in responding to this! Between moving and essentially no notifs, I missed your reply/comment until just now!

Yes, Fleetway and Redan are comic magazine publishers ^^

Fleetway was published in the 1990s by Fleetway Magazine as 'New Thunderbirds' (they also did a comic magazine for Stingray and Captain Scarlet) Fleetway was a mix of new material and old (tv21 comic stories were reprinted in the Fleetway run, generally taking up about half of the page count, although they were essentially in 'broadcast' order, that is they were published in the order of 'the publishers put the stories they liked best/felt were strongest at the start and had the 'weaker' stories towards the end... which given the fact that tv21 actually HAD continuity did cause some issues XD) For the new material, Fleetway had their own original comic stories that were set in the TOS universe, about.... 6? comic retellings of canon episodes (that were actually really good!), cover stories, and of course the 'Complete Thunderbirds Story' which is most well known for canonizing the fan created name of Lucille for the Tracy Mom, and canonizing what is actually officially the WRONG date for the setting (Fleetway's Complete TB story set Thunderbirds in 2024, the TV show and tv21 comics and novels were set in 2065). Complete Thunderbirds is still a decent read, and has enough solid points pulled from the bios and the like to make it fun from a lore standpoint as well. Fleetway also is the only time we have Gordon's hydrofoil accident mentioned/shown outside of the bios!

Redan was published in the early 2000s, and were shorter comic strips (usually 1 page / 10 or so panels). Done in a more colorful and simple art style, as well as being a bit more 'kid friendly / kid focused' then Fleetway or even the og TV show was (absoLUTly more 'kid' centric then tv21 or the novels). It's still set in the TOS 'verse' though. ^^ Decent enough comics, though they tended to be more straight forward ^_^ All of the comics in Redan were new and original plots.

Finally finished another cover! Decided to go with something much simpler this time so it doesn’t take 10+ hours

Tbh I’m not huge on this one, especially the title but I just couldn’t come up with anything else. Maybe I should work on that whilst I thumbnail them

I’m also trying a go at braving the world of drawing top lips! It’s never quite worked for me

Audio : Fall - Rustage ft. Oricadia

The fact that John threw down with the Hood FROM ORBIT using the mooring claw.

Literally any shot where the animators make use of the fact that the floor of the gravity ring is glass.

Dare I say the best Thunderbird? For me anyway.

Had this in my head for so long

I love Stingray

Such a good show
