I’m always posting anniversaries and birthdays, but some are a little more special to me than others. Case in point…
Happy 81st birthday to Heather Young, aka ‘Spindrift’ stewardess Betty Hamilton from Land of the Giants — one of my earliest crushes.

Just another day in the Land of the Giants.
Pages from the Land of the Giants colouring book,
Whitman Publishing, 1969. -
Land of the Giants is the, erm, big draw in this advertisement for issue 2 of Joe 90: Top Secret comic.

Issue 1 of Joe 90: Special Agent comic, cover-dated 18th January, 1969.
In my personal history of being a geek, this comic is an important milestone. It's where I was first introduced to Star Trek and Land of the Giants, two U.S. Sci-Fi series that have had a major (and very positive) effect on my life.

My first exposure to Land of the Giants was as a weekly two page picture-strip in 'Joe 90: Top Secret' comic, published in 1969.*
Throughout the strip's run, the Spindrift was mistakenly referred to as the Spendthrift. The name stuck with me and, even now, all these decades later, I occasionally catch myself writing Spendthrift instead of Spindrift.
*Where I lived we didn't get the TV series until 1972.

What's that you say? Post a picture of a spaceship that isn't from Star Trek or Star Wars. If you insist...
My all time favourite fictional spaceship is the Spindrift from Land of the Giants. Okay, the Spindrift didn't do much flying through space as it crashed in the first episode, but it's a gorgeous design with similarities to the Flying Sub from Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea and the Proteus from Fantastic Voyage.

This comic-strip from TV21 was the closest the Earth people ever got to escaping the Land of the Giants in either the comic or on television. Of course, whenever victory was in their grasp, cruel fate always seemed to intercede to keep the Earthlings stranded, and this would be no exception...

On Sunday mornings I like to relive my youth by re-reading old TV21 comics. I'm into the 'new series' now, which was after TV21 merged with Joe 90 comic. Even at the time I knew TV21's glory days were over. I was mainly buying the comic for the Land of the Giants and Star Trek strips.
This was my favourite Land of the Giants cover and story from that era.
TV21 & Joe 90 issue 15, January, 1970.
