Thanks, Lew.

Got it. Read it. Loved it.

Wouldn't it have been great if it had been a new comic run. But just the one issue is a bonus.

Yes, it would be fantastic if it could return on a regular basis, but a few months ago we didn't even know it'd return for one issue.

At least the six free TV21 postcards (showing covers and news stories for the following six issues) give us a taster of what might have been if it did continue. We'll just have to imagine the contents from that.

Wasn't there a fanzine called Action 21 or something from a few years ago that reprinted TV21 strips? It seemed to evolve out of the Supermarionation Is Go fanzine.

Yes, it was published by Dave Nightingale who owns the Thunderbooks comic shop in Blackpool. I think he still has some issues in stock. One of the many times those strips have been reprinted. As usual though, they were reduced to A4, but the reproduction was still excellent.

I was pleased that the new issue of TV21 is the same size as the original comics. John Burns' brand new Lady Penelope strip in the centrespread looks fantastic.
