*TV & Film Related Comics: The 1967/1968 run of TV Tornado has always been a favourite among collectors with popular features including Tarzan, the Phantom, Flash Gordon, the Saint, and many others. The major selling point for Gerry Anderson completists, however, is the addition of The Mysterons, antagonists of Captain Scarlet, in their own series from issue #36, following the absorption of TV Tornado’s companion title, Solo. Another phenomenon of recent years is the fierce competition for certain later covers featuring various media stars. TV Tornado had gotten into the habit for a while of featuring a media-star ‘Cover Man’ portrait on the cover, and while folks were largely indifferent to the likes of Simon Dee, Leslie Crowther or Harry Secombe, covers associated with cult TV shows – such as The Prisoner, Doctor Who or John Steed from TV’s Avengers – have spiralled massively up in price, owing to interest from, generally, collectors outside the comics-reading world. We have been fortunate in acquiring a complete run of TV Tornado, first to last, all 88 issues, generally in very attractive grades, with several duplications including some lower-graded reading copies. Highlights include issue #1 FN+ £75; #48 (Prisoner cover) FN £30; #58 (Two-page Doctor Who Feature) FN £22.50; #59 (Patrick Troughton/Doctor Who cover) FN £60; and #64 (John Steed/Avengers cover) FN £30.
