This is Andrew Cheverton’s contribution to the downthetubes “Moon Landing 40th Anniversary: A Comics Celebration” – a gallery of illustrations and comic art inspired by the Apollo expedition and space exploration which is being published on the downthetubes forum.
It sums up perfectly how I felt about the Moon Landing back in 1969 (yes, I know I’m showing my age!), so I have no hesitation in giving it wider exposure this morning.
Andrew creates small press comics under the Angry Candy name, ranging in genre from westerns to science fiction to horror and all those odd little spaces in between. Check out his work at angrycandy.co.uk
