British Update: Fantastic Countdown to TV Action
*Annuals: Small but select top-ups to two (arguably three) titles this update: Fantastic, the ‘Power Comics’ weekly which reprinted classic Marvel super-hero adventures, and Countdown, the successor to TV 21, which used the star power of Doctor Who and the Gerry Anderson ensemble to garner readership. Fantastic Annuals 1968, 1969, and 1970 are new to our listings, featuring Thor, the X-Men, Iron Man and a smattering of UK-originated strips, while Countdown 1972, 1973 and TV Action 1974 (the title changed from Countdown to TV Action when the focus switched from sci-fi to crime and adventure) featured original material of hit TV series. These are, in both cases, all the Annuals issued for their respective titles, now in at respectable and affordable mid grades. Details in our online catalogue.
