JAN MERLIN IN DALLAS, JULY 2002, page 2:
More shots from the Big-D Collectible Show in Mesquite,
TX.
Jan chats with a fan of Tom Corbett, Space Cadet and irrepressible cadet Roger Manning.  (Click on the photo to go to a Space Cadet page.) Most fans remembered Jan from his days at Space Academy.
... but here are two fans of GUNSMOKE, who remember Jan as a villain outdrawn on Front Street by Marshal Matt Dillon.
Jan also rode in the Dallas Rodeo Procession on July 19. (Click on this photo to go to the next page of photos.)
"What now, space heroes?"  "Plug your tubes, Roger!"
"Did I mention I always got the girl in this series?"
The canonical SPACE CADET portrait. Cadets Astro (Al Markim) and Tom Corbett (Frankie Thomas) appeal to the heavens for the strength to endure the antics of the irrepressible Roger Manning (Jan)... such charm the boy has!
Another great portrait of Jan in the filmed ZIV series, THE ROUGH RIDERS.
