W is for Water on Mars!

As well as the story (previous post) and the strip posted on Moonbase the other week (link in previous post), there was another comic strip appearance for Swift Morgan, in The New Spaceways Comic Annual, with a rather grim ending, and while called the Flying Saucers, the iconic vessels don't put in much of an appearance!







The entire military might of Saturn, drowning! Swift's ship at the start is obviously an early X-Plane (Britain did a lot of the early work too), basically an X-1, while a huge 'pulp' rocket is a bit far from the Johillco-Cherilea one. There is also a Jeep to be seen in several panels and a dimestore 'Space bus' (Dillon-Beck or Ideal maybe?) in evidence.
