British Update: TV 21’s Second Coming! Second series from 1970 & 1971
*TV & Film Related Comics: Following its ground-breaking first run, TV21 tried again to capture lightning in a bottle by amalgamating with the failed Joe 90 weekly as ‘TV21 and Joe 90’. Within a short space of time, though, Joe ‘left the building’, along with the rest of the Gerry Anderson-related material, but what remained by 1970 was still nice: new Star Trek adventures by Mike Noble and others, Tarzan, The Saint, Land of the Giants and non-media inspired drama, fantasy and sci-fi strips such as aquatic adventurers ‘S.N.O.R.K.E.L.’, rags-to-riches soccer star ‘Forward From The Back Streets’, would-be alien overlord ‘The Heat-Master’ and apprentice magician ‘Danny Merlin’, among others. Later issues in the run added edited reprints of Marvel’s Silver Surfer, Spider-Man, and – the big one – Homer the Happy Ghost! 30 issues between #41 and #103 newly added to our stock, in very respectable grades, VG or frequently better.
