Mitch the Monkey

Mitch the Monkey debuted in the very first issue of TV Century 21 in 1965, a British comics anthology built around Gerry Anderson's TV properties. A lighthearted strip, Mitch shared pages with science-fiction heroes like Steve Zodiac and Lady Penelope.

Swinging onto the very first page of TV Century 21 in 1965, Mitch the Monkey is a charming piece of Silver Age British comics history, brought to life by the creative team of Alan Fennell and Eric Eden for City Magazines. As a fixture of that beloved anthology title, Mitch kept extraordinary company — sharing pages with the likes of Steve Zodiac, Lady Penelope Creighton-Ward, and Mike Mercury in a publication that captured the imaginations of a generation of young readers. With 13 catalogue appearances rooted entirely in TV Century 21, Mitch is a delightful curio for collectors who treasure the golden era of British comics weeklies and the wonderfully eclectic worlds they contained.
