British Update: Countdown – From First To Last
*TV & Film Related Comics: After the demise of TV Century 21, Polystyle took over with the new series Countdown, inspired by the space race, which starred all of the old Gerry Anderson strips, plus Doctor Who and the eponymous ‘Countdown’, a brand-new space opera stylishly illustrated by John M. Burns. Highly collectible at a confluence of two major fandoms (Fanderson and Whovians), the series’ appeal is enhanced by its high production standards: glossy paper, more interior colour than was customary for the time, and script and art by some of the top talents in the field. The series shifted emphasis mid-path, becoming ‘TV Action’, with the focus switching from sci-fi to crime, but we have all 58 of the ‘pure’ Countdown issues, pre-changeover, back in stock. As a bonus, we also have the one and only Countdown Special from 1971 GD £20. This update, we offer two #1 issues with Free Gifts: one in VF- with the original Free Gifts of Wallchart and four stickers VF/NM (stickers uncut and unstuck) at £140 for the comic and gifts; the other #1 in FN+ has the wallchart in FN with the stickers from #1 stuck on it, therefore the gift is graded FN – comic/gift combo on sale for £110. Our newest #3 is VG with Free Gift (four more stickers) at VF; comic/gift on sale at £35. For everything else, please see our online catalogue listings.
