Captain Blue's mission

This picture was provided to me some years ago and I was wondering where it comes from? Does anyone know which magazine?

It's a rather good drawing of Captain Blue by Mike Noble...

It was used as the cover of the 90s CS magazine... I can check the issue if you want?

If you want to, thanks, Kambei!

Although, I DO have the CS magazines myself. But I do not recall seeing it on a cover... :oops:

I'll have to check too!

No, you're right, Chris; it isn't a cover... I shall have to go through my comics and the Thunderbirds ones that carried the CS stories after the dedicated comic stopped. I have definitely seen it somewhere... it was used as a competition - the kiddies wrote what was happening in 150 words or something...
I was put off entering myself due to the limit on the length... :wink:

Got it!
The picture occurs in:
The New Thunderbirds Comic, no 84, January 6th 1995. (Page 10)
The details of the competition are given on page 2, where it says:

YOUR CAPTAIN BLUE MISSION
On page 10 we publish a fantastic picture painted by Michael Noble. It shows Captain Blue in action - but we want to know what you think is the story behind the picture.
In not more than 100 words, tell us about Blue's mission. A prize will be waiting for the senders of the best stories which will be published in a future issue of The New Thunderbirds.
Send your entries to the address given in Agents' Reports on page 15 - and mark your envelope Captain Blue Mission.

I suppose it doesn't actually say the picture was painted FOR them - but it may well have been.
Sorry to have misled you, Chris.

Ah, the dear Captain - such a man of action. I am always bowled over by his tales of derring do.
