Made during a brief sojourn in Adelaide during the five years in which Marek was based in New Guinea (1954 to 1959), Spaceman Number One is an animated film that follows the quirky adventures of the titular astronaut.
According to Stephen Mould, 'this was Marek's first use of two-dimensional cut-out animation and was the precursor of an intense period of involvement with animated film in the early 1960s' (p.11).
