TV21 comic - Science Fiction Fantasy Chronicles: forums

Only reminded about this comic after something on the radio this morning about an embarassing little incident.

TV21 (ne. Century 21)
TV21 comics were published during the classic TV show periods from 1965 to 1969, and featured all of the main Gerry Anderson shows up to that point at one time or another. The production quality of the comic was of the highest standards, and it employed some of the top artists of the day to work for it. TV21 remains to many people the classic British Science Fiction comic of the 1960s.

The first 104 issues also contained a Dalek strip on the back page of each issue, with never a Doctor Who insight. The rights to Doctor Who at the time laying with DC Thomson (of Beano fame). Instead this strip focused entirely on the world of the Daleks themselves.

:blush: :blush: I used to get this comic :blush: :blush:

If only I had kept them sealed in plastic without reading them :erm: :erm:

I didn't keep any of them, and it merged with another comic I think, then I guess I either didn't like it, or grew out of it.

I've heard of it & it's a shame that it's not around now
