A much slighter annual in some respects than the 1984 annual, though this feels more artistically cohesive. The art is ust as off-model as before, but slightly more attention has been paid to the work. It isn't perfect by any stretch of the imagination, yet the appeal of the characters and the setting is beginning to grow on me. Chalk it up to Stockholm syndrome.
Gerry Anderson fashioned a rather poor step-cousin to his classic works with Terrahawks. No matter how much time talented creators might have expended on crafting something which actually entertains, this annual was never going to equal the visual splendour or thematic cohesiveness of Captain Scarlet strips. Yes, I hate myself a little for being so hard on this, but I wanted so much more.
