Camp Cosmos was a comic strip for a short time in the UK comic The Beano. It made its first appearance in issue 2859, dated 3 May 1997. In that first strip, Bert Spontlin, scrap merchant and sausage knotter, got his wife to fire a lorry into the sky with him in it to collect the space debris. When he came back he made a fortune by selling it off, and turned the rest into the world's first inter-galactic holiday camp, Camp Cosmos.
