About the series
A British weekly from Polystyle Publications, Countdown ran for 58 issues from 1971 to 1972, serving as a showcase for Gerry Anderson's TV creations. The series brought together characters from Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons and Thunderbirds—including Captain Scarlet, Colonel Paul Foster, Alan Tracy, and Brains—alongside original creations like Bella One. With a core creative team of writers Alan Fennell, Dennis Hooper, and Robin Hilborn, and artists Gerry Haylock, Harry Lindfield, and Malcolm Stokes, the comic offered a consistent, action-packed blend of sci-fi adventure. It remains a fondly remembered snapshot of British comics' fascination with puppetry-based television heroes.
