Editing Journey into Space (section)

== Comic strips ==
In 1956, the ''[[Junior Express]]'' comic began publishing ''Journey Into Space'' [[comic strip]]s, with scripts by Charles Chilton and artwork by Italian artist [[Ferdinando Tacconi]].<ref name="TWIP booklet"/> The first adventure, titled ''Jet Morgan in Planet of Fear'', was a 35-episode sequel to ''The World in Peril''. Tacconi spent some time with Chilton absorbing the atmosphere of the saga, and portrayed (in full colour) the radio actors' likenesses to match the clever dialogue.

The story was continued in 1957 in the 32-episode adventure, ''Shadow over Britain''. In March 1957, Arthur Bruce Cornwell took over from Tacconi as artist, and Chilton lost his enthusiasm for the cartoon strip; thereafter it became a contractual chore for him. Terence Patrick took over from Cornwell in April 1957, and by the time the third adventure began (''The World Next Door''), Chilton was no longer writing the scripts.

The 1956 ''[[Express Weekly]]'' annual contained a short black & white comic strip called ''Jet Morgan and the Space Pirates'', illustrated by Tacconi. (''Express Weekly'' was the new name of ''Junior Express''.) The 1957 annual included a short story called ''Jet Morgan and the Space Castaway'', written by Chilton and illustrated by Cornwell.
