*TV & Film Related Comics: This major acquisition consists of the majority of the first 50 issues of TV Century 21, 1965’s epochal launch of the Gerry Anderson ‘shared universe’ of the near-future in comics form. Properties long established on TV, such as ‘Supercar’ and ‘Fireball XL5’, were joined by newcomer ‘Stingray’, and, in a strip that piloted International Rescue long before the TV launch of ‘Thunderbirds’, the solo adventures of ‘Lady Penelope: Elegance, Charm…and Deadly Danger’. This oversized, lavishly printed production, illustrated by the best artists in the British comics field at the time – Mike Noble, Ron Embleton, Frank Bellamy, Ron Turner, Keith Watson – was a huge hit, and has remained fiercely collected by comics aficionados and ‘Fanderson’ devotees alike. This is by no means a complete selection, but does include the earliest and hardest to find issues, as well as the elusive 1965 Summer Extra. Issue #1 is GD/VG at £200; #2 GD at £75; #3 GD/VG £100 and the 1965 Summer Extra in Fair (considerable spine wear, but otherwise respectable) at £75. For details of the other issues, including grades and prices, as always, check our online catalogue listing.
