UPDATED: Kevin O'Neill draws for Forbidden Planet

UPDATE (18th June 2026): This is the Forbidden Planet film and TV catalogue #5 by Kevin O'Neill

currently available to buy here for £25

So, we know from before that catalogue #1 cover was by Brian Bolland, #2 by Kev O'Neill and that #5 was also by O'Neill. I wonder who did the covers for issues #3 and #4?

From the winter of 1979/80 comes the cover to the Forbidden Planet film and TV catalogue #2 by Kevin O'Neill

This was the cover (by Brian Bolland) that featured on the cover of issue 1
