Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Non Look-in Strips

[jim244]

The incredible universe of Irwin Allens' immense Sci-fi Genius TV shows were a big hit in comics but sadly only Voyage (his first series) had a strip in Look-in.
Voyage featured in 3 annuals,two of which I have.Those two feature no strips.The other is,I believe,reprints from Gold Key comics.
Look -in also just reprinted from Gold key.
So,I believe the only comic strips produced for this show were most famously the Gold Key issues and secondly TV Tornado.
Unfortunately I have only a very few Tornados so if anybody can plug the gap on Voyage stories featured in Tornado,I would greatly appreciate it.
The Gold Key issues are the following:
16 Issues published from 1964 - 1970.

ISSUE 1: "The Last Survivor" (The Seaview investigates a mysterious tidal wave).
ISSUE 2: " Monsters of the Moho" (Ocean life turns into monsters).
ISSUE 3: "The Jonah Curse of the Seaview" (Admiral Nelson chases a phantom ship).
ISSUE 4: "Robinson Crusoe of the Depths" (An undersea giant).
ISSUE 5: "The Great Undersea Safari" (A vengeful hunter hunts Nelson -Reprinted in edited form in Look-In).
ISSUE 6: "The Overland Trail" (Seaview is land locked -Reprinted in edited form in Look-In).
ISSUE 7: "Saga of the Undersea Island" (A demon ).
ISSUE 8: "Seaview vs the Ultra Sub" (Enemy Submarine).
ISSUE 9: "Expedition to Doomsday" (A giant creature from under the ice).
ISSUE 10: "Davey Jones' Locker" (Nelson struggles to save his crew from madness).
ISSUE 11: "S.O.S. Seaview" (The Seaview is out of control).
ISSUE 12: "The Emperor of the Oceans" (Sea creatures declare war on mankind).
ISSUE 13: "The Renegade Island" (Trapped near an uncharted island faced with monstrosities).
ISSUE14: "The Life and Death of the Seaview" (The Sub is turned into a living monster).
ISSUE 15: Reprint of issue 7.
ISSUE 16: Reprint of issue 6.

Mistake above: I have since located both UK Voyage annuals and both contain strip stories,my memory had cheated.Apologies.
Voyage Annual 1967 contains a reprint of Gold Key 4.
The 68 annual contains a reprint of Gold Key 5.

Further information for TV Tornado.

After researching this,I know believe that other than sporadic text stories,the Voyage strip lasted from issues 1-6 only.
All of these were 2 pages in black and white.
Issue 1 "The Seaviews Ghost"
Issue 2 "The Green Monsters of the Deep".
Issue 3 "Crime Island"
Issue 4 "Dance of Death"
Titles unknown for 5 and 6.

There were strips in some of the TV Tornado annuals, I recall one being quite appallingly drawn! And for what might have been copyright reasons (i.e. perhaps they no longer had them?) it was referred to in places as 'Submarine Seaview'.

There were 4 TV Tornado annuals published and the 3 I have (if memory serves) only present Voyage as a text story.
Therefore the strip must come from the 1971 annual.
TOTALLY CORRECT on "Submarine Seaview.....".

From memory, the second and fourth annuals.

I've taken photos of each so if you want to PM me an email address, I'll send them to you.

Plus those Facebook photos of the art pages from issues 1 and 2 of the 1975 Volume of Look-in. But ONLY if you don't share those, please.

I need to double check my old notes but thought 'Voyage' ran for the first 13 issues. A couple were drawn by Alan Willow. It's possible, although it's some years since I did the research, that the latter parts were text stories after a short run of strips.

Voyage ran for the first 14 issues and was replaced by The Saint in issue 15.
I believe issues 7-14 were text stories as you mention above.
