Space 1999 Year 1 Brochure
Compiled by Martin Willey
The Merchandise GuideThis glossy brochure was 31.5cm x 33.5cm, opening up to reveal a fold-out Moon image. According to the small text by Landau's image "Printed by Alan Pooley Printing of Royal Tunbridge Wells" (the printing company started in 1974 and dissolved in 1998).
The odd logo was used on the Lyons Maid ice lolly (alongside an art version of actor portraits and one of the Eagle montages). The two Eagle montages were used by ITC for their ITC/Polygram VHS tapes from 1992-1993
