Captain's Library: SPACE: 1999 "This Insect Earth" Part 1

In England, instead of a comic book, Space: 1999 appeared as a weekly strip...
...beginning with this story that appeared the month the show debuted on TV, September, 1975!
Actually, you'll see the conclusion tomorrow!
This serialized tale from the British mag Look-In was written by Angus P Allen and illustrated by John M Burns (who had worked on various other Gerry Anderson bases strips, but is best known for his art on Judge Dredd and Dan Dare).
Note: the Year One episode "Another Time, Another Place" (which also featured the Alphans landing on an Earth, albeit a parallel Earth) had not yet aired, so a story about a return to their home world wouldn't be unlikely.
In fact, Power Records also did a "return to Earth via time travel" tale, but had the Alphans going into the past where they encountered Noah just before the Great Flood!
