British Update: Long Hot Summer: Lady Penelope Summer Extra 1966
*TV & Film Related Comics: Following her debut in TV Century 21 (where she acted as a ‘stealth pilot’ for International Rescue and the Thunderbirds TV series) Lady Penelope Creighton-Ward gained her own series in short order. Starting out in 1966, apart from Lady P herself, the early issues featured Marina, Space Family Robinson, the Beverly Hillbillies, Bewitched and the Perils of Parker, all making an appearance in Her Ladyship’s one and only special edition, the 1966 Summer Extra. Possibly the rarest issue of the rarest Gerry Anderson-related series, this copy of the Summer Extra is only Fair; there is considerable spine and corner wear, especially at the lower left corner, and there is a small hole in the cover (just beneath the ‘x’ in ‘Extra’ on the logo) but the stories are complete and unimpaired. FA £75.
