No, not my forthcoming rant against the entire computer industry, but the first of two Swift Morgan stories from The New Spaceways Comic Annual, and some sources (I haven't checked the dates) name him as Britain's first space hero, which is a bit rough on Well's characters . . . and he surely shares the birthday with Zip O'Daly?
Condar ('condor'!), Buck, Dare, Flash, Hardy, Swift, Zip . . . they were all names of daring do, weren't they!

The only notable space vehicle is a sort of Spacex/Marx crossover having elements of the former's Mobile Moon HQ and the later's refuelling 'space tank'. It's a better story than the 'Hard Dick' one too!
