Wow, I had the Future book but it was called something else in the US. Absolutely loved the illustrations, endlessly sparked my imagination. I would have loved the other books in your collection as well!
Dear God, Mike, why did you show the picture of Black Shuck? WHY?!?!?! If anyone needs me, I'll just be rocking back and forth, shivering, over in the corner.
I think the space hospital book series was the "Sector General" series by James White. There were a couple of trade paperbacks available a few years ago that collected the first 5 or 6 in the series.
@@ianwarren1301 Wow. Yeah, that looks like it. I thought they were more aimed at kids and teenagers, though. But reading through the wiki, that sounds like what I read. Thanks, Ian!
The Galactic Tours book reminded me of the implant choices from Total Recall...love it when Quaid asks, "What's in the 2 week package?" I've recently tried collecting all 140+ Choose Your Own Adventures books by R.A Montgomery (et all) from the original series, picking them up here and there from used book stores. I told my wife they're for the future kid we don't yet have, but really I just still love reading them! Sometimes if the wife and I are trying to decide who gets the final say on something, I'll persuade her to "choose an adventure," and if she dies at the end, I win and get to decide! She usually lives...:/
The Star Wars Weekly side-story you're thinking of is called "The UFO Connection!" and it ran from issues 36 to 45. I have a complete set of comic scans of this. I really enjoyed this video. If I were to make a similar one, I would probably mention the Eagle comic, Orbis's The Unexplained weekly magazine, the Starstormers books by Nicholas Fisk, and a little craft book called "How to Make Monsters" which I would really love to find again.
@@michaelbartlettfilm Oh, I have no idea. But I'll gladly share these scans with you, if you like. My email address is on the "About" tab of my channel.
Hi ... I recognised the art from that Autons strip as David Lloyd's (original artist of V for Vendetta written by Alan Moore), Business As Usual (also written by Moore) was a back feature in Doctor Who weekly issues 40 to 43 - you can get the individual issues on Ebay for a few quid each. I don't think they have ever been collected. I'll do some digging about the other two comics you mentioned and come back to you.
@@HexValdez Not many. I've got Rebellion's albums of the 2000AD stuff. I've got back issues of Dr Who Monthly and I used to collect Scream comic, but that's it.
@@michaelbartlettfilm One of my biggest regrets is giving away all my Scream issues many many years ago!! Even had those glow in the dark teeth for a long time given away with the first issue.
@@michaelbartlettfilm It seems to have been deleted, I don't know why. Was just recommending a couple of books that you may not have heard of which I think you'd like. They're about the 'dark side' of pop culture in the 70s/80s, a real nostalgia trip. They're called 'Scarred for Life' Vol 1 & 2 (1970s and 1980s). The first book features some of the comics and books you mentioned in this video.

I know, right? Some of those illustrations... Happy days.

I remember my mum banning me from reading the "Vampires, werewolfs and demons" book, great memories on this video!
The artwork in that book was insane! So much blood!

The UFO Connection - yes! Thanks so much, mate. It's been doing my head in for years trying to remember the title.
Do you know if it's available to buy in an album anywhere?

Thanks, Hex! I've never made the V For Vendetta connection till now. I knew there was something about that artwork.
@@michaelbartlettfilm No problem my friend. Do you own many British comics? (just out of curiousity)
@@HexValdez Not many. I've got Rebellion's albums of the 2000AD stuff. I've got back issues of Dr Who Monthly and I used to collect Scream comic, but that's it.

@@HexValdez Can't believe it only lasted 15 issues
I had the usborne supernatural guides and their Anicent Rome and Greece guides but my favourite was their Detective Handbook
Ooh, I never had that one! I'll check it out.
That read like a sales pitch but I assure you I have no affiliation, just a big fan of the books!
Hi, Mark. I can't find your original comment. Has it been deleted?
