Thanks to Paulo Jorge Morgado and Patrick Zimmerman for this information and the illustrations.

A 1978-1979 Portuguese comic which reprinted comic strips, including the Space: 1999 comic strips from Look-In. There were eight issues, five of which included Space: 1999 (known by the English title or Espaco: 1999). Other strips featured included The Tomorrow People, Black Beauty, Kung Fu and Prince Valiant (the American comic, the only non-Look-In title). The Space: 1999 Look-In strips were featured as complete stories (rather than as two page serialisations) with Portuguese text in the speech bubbles, often with the original Look-In title photo. Each issue was 32 pages and included cover art usually by Portuguese artist Vitor Peon (1923-1991).

Three issues did not feature Space: 1999 : Issue 2 - April 1978, Issue 4 - June 1978 and Issue 7 (May 1979)

The publisher, Agencia Portuguesa de Revistas, Lisbon, also printed the Portugal edition of the Panini album in 1983.
