Description

Hello everyone and thanks for looking... While I was putting together this picture (several days back, when I had time) I was having a tough time coming up with a title for it. I finally settled on "Have Spacesuit, Will Travel", after the title of an old science fiction story from 1958. Does anyone out there remember who it's legendary author was? And for extra credit, what was the western TV show the name was borrowed from? Yep, I think I'm showing my age with this, or at least my fondness for classic sci-fi and westerns. ^_^ Also, many many thanks to Chasfh and Kassie for the exceedingly cool Starman and Spacegirl suits. They were perfect for this picture and really nicely made sets. Thanks again for all your comments. They're very much appreciated. Have a great weekend... Tom Seaview123

Good ol' Palladin, the man in black. I remember it but not all that well never having been a real Western fan (but my Dad was), but then again, that was about the only thing on TV back then. I could barely contain my excitement when Lost in Space, Star Trek, etc. arrived. Hell, even the ultra campy Batman was better than Bonanza. I still love to watch cheesy 50's SciFi, give me the ultrabad 'Plan 9 from Outer Space' over a crap remake like what's coming out of Hollywood these days. The way they're going I'm expecting a feature version of 'The Loveboat' to hit the local theatre any day now. Great look, feel and colors to these you're doing, Tom.

Great retro scene. And the author was Robert Anson Heinlein, one of scifi's Grand Masters.

Lovely work on this Tom.. Heres some wiki info on the original Have Space Suit—Will Travel.. Have Space Suit—Will Travel is a science fiction novel for young readers by Robert A. Heinlein, originally serialised in The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction (August, September, October 1958) and published by Scribner's in hardcover in 1958 as the last of the Heinlein juveniles. Heinlein made use of his engineering expertise to bring a sense of realism to the story; for a time during World War II, he was a civilian aeronautics engineer working at a laboratory where pressure suits were developed for use at high altitudes. Have Space Suit—Will Travel was nominated for a Hugo Award in 1959.[1] As for Have Gun will travel some wiki info also.. Have Gun — Will Travel is an American Western television series that aired on CBS from 1957 through 1963. It was rated either number three or number four in the Nielsen ratings during each year of its first four seasons.[1] It was one of the few television shows to spawn a successful radio version. The radio series debuted November 23, 1958. Have Gun — Will Travel was created by Sam Rolfe and Herb Meadow and produced by Frank Pierson, Don Ingalls, Robert Sparks, and Julian Claman. There were 225 episodes of the TV series (several were written by Gene Roddenberry), of which 101 were directed by Andrew McLaglen[2][3] and 19 were directed by the series star Richard Boone.
