TV21

This Memory is looking a little short on nostalgia! Have you got anything you could add?

I remember having the TV21 comic in the late 60s. It had a lot of Gerry Anderson's work in it like Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet, Fireball XL5 and Stingray. I presume it was set in the 21st century and had stories from the above TV shows. I think that it was later merged with the 'Valiant' Comic.

    The original premiered in 2065 beginning with Stingray, Fireball XL% and Lady Penelope. There was a comedy version of Supercar (not a patch on the TV comic version) and other stories such as Burke's Law all accessed via the TV 21 Time machine. Really loved this (especially when Thunderbirds joined a year later) Artwork and stories superb and very adult for the time. Captain Scarlet joined but eventually all good things came to an end and it was reborn as TV21 & Joe 90 (the issue shown above) - lasted 105 issues but all things that made it TV21 had gone by issue 40 so I moved to Countdown

    I used to get this comic because I liked Thunderbirds on TV but most of the stories were far too hard for me to understand. I used to look at the pictures. I remember it with nostalgia but I don't think I took it for long. I think my mum realised it was a bit old for me!
