I used to love a comic book called Space Family Robinson by Gold Keyl Comics back when they cost 15 cents an issue. No, not the one based on Lost in Space with the Jupiter 2, but even older than that. This ship was named Space Station 1.
The spaceship was a large ship with a clear bubble for a telescope and another for the bridge. The ship was cabable of landing but usually the family went down in shuttles which had a clear nose. Really cool stuff for the early 60's.
Here is a link to the comic. There are examples of the ship scattered thru out the site but this link will show you one at the top of the page. I think while everyone is scrambling to do Star Wars, Star Trek, and Babylon 5. A line of kits for us older guys 'n gals who remember the nostalgic 60 and 70's would be great.
Enjoy the link and the memories.
