Welcome! "It is the 21st century." "You are sitting in the control cabin of Stingray. Next to you is Captain Troy Tempest. You are travelling at 600 knots. You reach Marineville and a supersonic helicopter swoops low over the metal roads, the fantastic buildings and cities of 2065... " "You - yes, you, reader - will ride the flight deck of the Moonbase Eagle craft. Will explore the surfaces of hostile planets hitherto unseen by the eye of man... " Interesting to read those two introductions, written about eleven years apart, and relish how the authors had tried to involve their followers in mythical events that had yet to - timewise - yet to happen. And in reality probably never will. Well, it is now the 21st Century. Technology enables myself and others to explore, not the fiction (although that will always come into it) but the fact behind these now legendary comic versions of equally legendary television series, and bring them to you to enjoy. To be honest, as a creative person with a penchant for writing and drawing, I'm not that interested in the Troy Tempests, the Captain Scarlets, or the Commander John Koenigs - but the Alan Fennells and Dennis Hoopers, the Angus Allans and Scott Goodalls, and Frank Bellamys, Mike Nobles and John Burns, and many, many others. The editors, writers and artists who took the formats of television shows and brought new dimensions to them. They are the ones who inspired myself and others. I've got the site together, with co-producer Kim Stevens, not as fans of the Gerry Anderson series who just happen to have the comics, but as long-standing aficionados of comics who happen to be fans of the Gerry Anderson shows, in all their different colours and media. We've attempted to go back to square one, and yes - if you're wondering - Kim, myself and other contributors, have gone back and read and re-read all the material from scratch. Formed our own opinions and conclusions, rather than regurgitate those of others. We thought we knew the strips. For the most part, we didn't. Most we have now found to only had a glancing acquaintence with. Some were new to us. All were enthralling in one way or another. So perhaps... "It was the 20th Century." "You are sitting at the editorial desk... " "You are sharing ideas with the writers... " "You are in the studio with the artists... " Just... maybe. - - - - - - - - - - - - Contents for Upload One: - - - - - - - - - - - - Four Feather Falls - - - - - - - - - - - - Supercar - - - - - - - - - - - - Fireball XL5 - - - - - - - - - - - - Stingray - - - - - - - - - - - - Lady Penelope: Charm, Elegance, and Deadly Danger - - - - - - - - - - - - Marina, Girl of the Sea - - - - - - - - - - - - Thunderbirds - - - - - - - - - - - - Zero X - - - - - - - - - - - - The Angels - - - - - - - - - - - - Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons - - - - - - - - - - - - Joe 90 - - - - - - - - - - - - The Secret Service - - - - - - - - - - - - UFO - - - - - - - - - - - - The Protectors - - - - - - - - - - - - Space:1999 - - - - - - - - - - - - Terrahawks - - - - - - - - - - - - Annuals - The Comic Annuals - - - - - - - - - - - - Easter Eggs - - - - - - - - - - - -
