The General

A figure of authority and intrigue from the early Bronze Age, The General made their entrance in the very first issue of Countdown in 1971 — a bold debut from Polystyle Publications that put this character right at the heart of one of British comics' most action-packed anthology titles. Created by Dennis Hooper and John M. Burns, The General shares the pages with the likes of Captain Scarlet, Captain Blue, and Jeff Tracy, keeping genuinely distinguished company in a publication that crackled with adventure. Rare in the catalog with just three recorded appearances, The General carries the particular mystique of a character whose every panel counts — a true collector's curiosity from a fondly remembered era of British comics.
