British Update: Long Hot Summer: TV Century 21 and Thunderbirds Summer Extras from 1965 – Battered, but Bargainaceous
*TV & Film Related Comics: Rarities like the 1965 TV Century 21 Summer Extra from 1965, and the Thunderbirds Extra from 1965, would ordinarily command very high prices, easily reaching three-figures in high grades. These ones… don’t. While technically complete, these copies have not only been around the block, but also over the bridge and across the river, and show every step of the journey through the passing decades! TV Century 21 1965 Summer Extra has (deep breath) light scribble on three interior pages, puzzles or quizzes filled in on three interior pages, eight interior page edges clipped, affecting the ‘Contact 21’ and ‘Supercar’ strips, one quarter of the back cover is missing, affecting ‘My Favourite Martian’, the front cover is torn, worn, and virtually separated, and there is extensive corner and edge wear throughout. The 1965 Thunderbirds Extra fares no better, with covers detached, worn and with missing corners – one such, on the back cover, affects the final ‘Thunderbirds’ story; scribble on front cover and eight interior pages; quiz completed on one interior page, and a quarter of one interior page (affecting text & activity features) missing. However, beaten-up though they are, they are almost complete, and – with a couple of exceptions noted above – all stories are readable. TV Century 21 Summer Extra 1965 and Thunderbirds Extra 1965, both graded Poor, at £30 each. SORRY, THESE HAVE NOW SOLD
