PLEASE!  CAREFULLY READ THIS IMPORTANT NOTE FOR TAPES AND DVD: 

Be aware of the different Regions and recording Formats.  UK tapes and DVD are PAL format - and DVD discs are Region 2, which means that PAL TAPES ARE ONLY COMPATIBLE WITH UK VIDEO SYSTEMS AND REGION 2 DVD DISCS ARE ONLY COMPATIBLE WITH EUROPEAN PLAYERS --  THEY WILL NOT WORK IN US EQUIPMENT.  Unless you have a system that will enable you to, you will not be able to view these medias in North American machines, which use NTSC recording format, and Region 1 for DVD discs.  The same is true the other way around.  Please note that some DVD players can play any format.  Check the compatibility of your equipment before ordering.

COMICS

 

xl500s.jpg - 35624 BytesIn preparation from Misc!MAYHEM - who are already publishing the "Supercar" comics series - Fireball XL-5 will be a seven parts (0 to 6) mini-series, telling "the story of how a brash young lieutenant named Steve Zodiac first meets the lovely Dr. Venus, and fulfills his destiny to become the commander of the fabulous FIREBALL XL5."  You can say from the artwork shown here that this comic will be nothing short than  fabulous!

The mini-series will be available soon, at your local comic store, at the Star Trader online store or, for U.S. directly through SHOPPE MAYHEM!, Misc!MAYHEM online store. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

UPDATE: JULY 13, 2003

Those of you interested in the "U.F.O.",  "Fireball XL-5" and "Supercar" comics  by   Misc!MAYHEM  may be wondering what is presently going on with those titles, which had not appeared as they were announced - So far, only Number 0 of "Supercar" has been published.  Don't despair, people!  You'll be happy to know that neither title has been cancelled.  "Fireball XL5" and "Supercar" are presently being repackaged in a 48-page book called "SUPERMARIONATION ADVENTURES", while UFO is still planned as a stand-alone series.
