THE INVADERS TVUE WEEK GUIDE |
Updated: June 21, 2026
This image is the cover of a "TV Vue" supplement for the Boston Sunday Advertiser, highlighting the science fiction television series The Invaders.
Historical Context:
The Show: The Invaders was a popular American science fiction series that aired on ABC from 1967 to 1968. It starred Roy Thinnes as David Vincent, an architect who discovers a plot by extraterrestrials to infiltrate Earth. The show is well-regarded for its premise of a lone protagonist trying to convince a skeptical public of an imminent alien threat.
The Artwork: The illustration features Roy Thinnes in his role as David Vincent, looking toward an alien spacecraft ( UFO ). It is signed "J. Schmidt," likely the staff artist or illustrator for the TV Vue publication at that time.
Scheduling: The text notes the show aired on Tuesdays at 8:30 p.m. on channels 6, 7, and 9.
This piece serves as a nostalgic look at 1960s television marketing, where newspapers commonly included dedicated TV guide supplements featuring cover art and highlights of the week's prime-time programming.
Value: $200.
