*Annuals: For this weeks’ update, Annuals celebrating the works of TV pioneer Gerry Anderson, whose series including ‘Captain Scarlet’, ‘Thunderbirds, ‘Stingray’ and ‘Fireball XL5’, among others, proved popular worldwide during the 1960s and early ’70s. From the same pedigree source as our previous ‘Immaculate’ selections, these are from a newsagent’s inventory, never circulated or read, no prices clipped, no gift dedications, ‘This Book Belongs To’ inscriptions or other interior markings, solid spines, tight corners and bright, vibrant colours. A few have minor edge wear from long-term storage, or occasionally light breaks in the laminate, but all have exceptional eye appeal, and some could almost pass for new! This week, we have new annuals for Captain Scarlet & Thunderbirds (a combo volume from 1970), Countdown 1973, Joe 90 1969, Lady Penelope 1968 & 1969, and TV Century 21 1967, plus Candy and Andy from 1967. What’s ‘Candy and Andy’ you ask? A ‘Younger Viewers’ series which was prepared, including puppets, props and sets, but no network took it up so it was never actually filmed; to a modern perspective the photos look kind of… serial-killerish, to be honest, but it’s certainly an oddity! Depicted: Candy and Andy 1967 VF/NM £40, Captain Scarlet and Thunderbirds 1970 VF/NM £20, Lady Penelope 1969 VF/NM £17.50 and TV Century 21 1967 VF £25.
