TV ACTION COMIC 1972
TV Action was in effect a continuation of Countdown magazine running issues 59 to 132. The numbering sequence continued where Countdown stopped. The main strip in TV Action was Dr Who featuring Jon Pertwee
From issue 101 to the last issue 132 TV Action the format of the comic was changed. Each issue now had a special cover featuring the lead comic strip featured that week. This cover featured comic strip was longer than the other strips in the comic and usually ran to 7 pages (4 in the front and 3 in the back) as a self contained complete story. The line up of comic strips featured in the comic was also rotating at this time. I have listed the main strips in each issue. The number of leading strips was always changing due to other features such as pop pin up pages and laterly a new strip called Houdini Whodunnit. Later UFO strips also featured more on Shado personel stories.
All of these issues are difficult to find now and the Dr Who and UFO covers are usually the hardest to find.

| 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 This was done to give newsagents some time to sell the comic before it was out of date.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. |
