*TV & Film Related Comics: When the first series of TV Century 21 faltered, competitors Polystyle were quick to generate a successor in ‘Countdown’, featuring many of the most popular Gerry Anderson TV shows in comic strip form. Fireball XL5, Captain Scarlet, Thunderbirds, Stingray all graced its pages, plus a brand-new sci-fi strip ‘Countdown’, illustrated rather spiffily by John M. Burns, and the star power of a Doctor Who comic series imported from TV Comic! Later issues added the Persuaders in a prelude to the change into TV Action that was to follow. Our latest Countdown update features around 40 issues new in between #2 and #43, filling many gaps in our listings. From an original owner collection and new to the marketplace, these have been carefully stored for over 50 years and are among the nicest copies we’ve ever seen, with many VF graded. Full details as always in our catalogue.
