Welcome aboard, Alessandro! Thank You for sharing this great artwork on these rockets and space scenes. I almost never venture outside the robot forums here, but you make me wonder why I don't with those pics. :scratchhead: I read your first post and I think you really will enjoy your time here. :biggrin:

I love the artwork! Was there a robot on that Zordon cover? It looks like the space toys for Christmas are based on real space toys. The helmet is based on the Renwal space helmet and the space station looks like the nasa space station.

Love that Domenica Christmas scene. The little girl may be jealous but not reading Italian I would interpret it as the most one sided Christmas ever. :crying-and-sobbing: My granddaughter is the female version of that Christmas story. She gets enought toys for 6 kids.

I have 3 Italian comics called Il Vittorioso. I bought these some years ago at a market held at my son's primary school in NSW. One has a space cover and the other two are more "what could happen in our near future". Two of them are dated 1956 and the other is 1954. Interestingly the first two covers have the artist's name on them - Zellara

And don't we all forget the italian comic "version" (i.e. blatant rip-off... :-) of the UFO TV series. Here are some of the most interesting covers...
