Troy Tempest

Troy Tempest is the ace pilot of the futuristic submarine Stingray, defending the world's oceans as a commander in the World Aquanaut Security Patrol (WASP). Based on the beloved British TV21 puppet series, he debuted in TV Century 21's very first issue in 1965.

Few characters capture the optimism of 1960s British comics quite like Troy Tempest, who splashed onto the scene in the very first issue of TV Century 21 in 1965 — a Silver Age debut as bold as they come. Created by Alan Fennell and Eric Eden, he's a fixture of the beloved Century 21 Publications universe, sharing adventures across TV Century 21, Action 21, and Countdown alongside a remarkable cast that includes Lady Penelope Creighton-Ward, "Phones" Sheridan, and Steve Zodiac. That kind of company speaks volumes about the rich, action-packed world he inhabits — a world of futuristic heroes and high-stakes adventure that defined a generation of young British readers. With a publishing life stretching all the way to 1992, Troy Tempest is a genuine piece of Silver Age history well worth seeking out.
