UK postal services permitting, the last issue of FAB magazine of 2009 will be winging it's way to members from Monday 5th October.

As befits our splendid front cover, we look back at the end of UFO and the tentative beginnings of Space:1999 in the 'The Void Ahead'. The Midas Touch examines the pulsating conclusion to New Captain Scarlet, Grey Skulls, while Timelash contributors reminisce about the first episode of the original puppet show, The Mysterons.

There's a fantastic behind the scene photo feature on the Stingray episode Tom Thumb Tempest, and an insanely detailed guide to the WSP Fleet of Fireball XL5 (think you know your XL2 from your XL7?).

The third part of Stephen Baxter's look at the non-TV21 world of Anderson comics turns its attention to the appearance of Captain Scarlet in Candy and Solo. There's also the final part of our SHADO personnel guide, FAB Mail, FAB News...

Don't forget to login to the Fanderson Forum and tell us what you think of the issue. We expect you'll have a few things to talk...
