Oh I DEFINITELY think it's intentional -- he's copied it right down to the "bumps" underneath! In fact, when I saw that panel in Pluto, I thought -- "that flying saucer doesn't look like it "fits" somehow. It's drawn like something out of the 50's." So I was correct in my thinking!
I don't remember The Invaders, though. My first sci-fi TV show was Men in Space (1959-1960 -- so it was before Astro Boy). And of course at school we'd all gather to watch the early space flights (but I'm off topic -- sorry!). I'm going to check out The Invaders, looks cool, in a Lost in Space kind of way.
