COUNTDOWN COMIC 1971/72
Countdown comic did feature a new Gerry Anderson UFO strip, but the rest of the Gerry Anderson content in this comic was reprinted from TV21. Other main strips in the comic were Dr who featuring Jon Pertwee, The Persuaders and a strip called Countdown. Countdown lasted only 58 issues before becoming TV Action + Countdown (then TV Action). Both Countdown and TV21 second series were on sale at the same time during 1971. TV21 by this time had no Gerry Anderson content.

Please note that as was common with many UK comics that some of these issues have a pencil (sometimes pen ) name or address on them which is usually on the top front or back cover nargin. This would have been marked on by the original newsagent. This comic was a typical British comic. As usual there is alittle discolouring to the paper over the years and minor little folds etc to the edges of the paper on some comics. All comics have all however been stored flat over the years and unless noted otherwise are in VG condition (or slightly better). Please note that unless stated otherwise that any free gifts advertised with the comics are not there. They are long gone to wherever these items go to. COVER DATES ON BRITISH COMICS Please note that the cover dates on British weekly comics (as with most weekly magazines/periodicals) IS USUALLY NOT THE DATE that the comic was for sale on, but the date usually for Saturday at the end of the week of publication. This was done to give newsagents some time to sell the comic before it was out of date. Most British comics state cleary what day they actually went on sale and this can be seen clearly from the scans. If you are buying comics for a Birthday or Anniversary gift then it is better to be buying for a specific week rather than an actual date as this in many cases will not be a published date. |
