Bleep and Booster (1965)

 

I enjoyed the space art in this book. It is a nice background for these fictional space adventures.

Bleep and Booster was a beloved children's animated sci-fi series featured on the BBC's Blue Peter from 1963 to 1977. The story followed the galactic adventures of Bleep, an alien boy from the planet Miron, and Booster, an adventurous young human boy. Originally shown on the BBC's Blue Peter. A total of 313 five-minute episodes were made. There were a series of books and Annuals issued over the years it was on the air.

Buster Brown Goes to Mars (1958)

 

This comic is a promotional comic from Buster Brown shoes. If you went into a shoe store and tried on Buster Brown shoes you would get a comic book with the name of the store stamped/printed on it. Buster Brown  (and his dog Tige) were a feature of 1950s and 1960s shoe store. In this case Buster goes to Mars and tames a space dog. But of course the adult at home doesn't believe him even though the Martians gave him a medal.
