UFO Comic Anthology Volume One
Writers Dennis Hooper, Alan Fennell Artists Various Publisher Anderson Entertainment
Volume One (of two) features 288 pages of colour and black and white strips.
As Gerry Anderson’s first live action show and the sole original Anderson strip in TV Century 21’s 1971 successor Countdown, UFO is an intriguing choice to launch this new reprint line. The pulpy stories neatly reflect the creepy, Cold War atmosphere of the TV series, although it’s the excellent art by the likes of Brian Lewis and Martin Asbury – with John M Burns to come in volume two – which is the real star in this fantastic-looking book.
