La Vache Qui Rit: Goldorak (1979)

The second Letraset promotion from La Vache Qui Rit (assuming Letraset had nothing to do with "Le Livre de la Jungle"), following "A La Conquête de l'Espace" — nine years earlier.

"Goldorak" is the French name for "UFO Robot Grendizer". It was broadcast in France from 1978.

This advert from Pif Gadget explains the set-up. Note the name of the promotion company: "Extension 21". They will crop up again! And the contest to win a robot or relief poster ends on the 31st March 1980.

I have three of the ten transfers; unfortunately, my planche no.3 has a lightning bolt rubbed down somewhere in France!
