Spectrum, a new comic anthology inspired by the worlds created by Gerry Anderson and his teams down the years, gets its launch at MCM London Comic Con from Time Bomb Comics this weekend. Anderson Entertainment will be there, too, with a range of products and activities to delight old and new fans alike.
MCM London Comic Con will host the launch of Time Bomb Comics’ new
Spectrum Comics anthology, which was successfully funded on Kickstarter last
month. Licensed by Anderson Entertainment, Spectrum brings together three brand new stories from the worlds of Terrahawks, New Captain Scarlet and Space
Precinct, really putting the comic into Comic Con.
On Saturday 28th May, Jamie Anderson, writer/producer and son of Gerry Anderson, will join director/producer Benjamin Field and host CJ The Geek at MCM in a special look at Gerry Anderson: A Life Uncharted featuring clips and previously unseen material, followed by a live Q&A on the main stage.
Anderson Entertainment’s appearance at MCM comes hot on the heels of the success of the recent Stand By For Action! Gerry Anderson in Concert at Symphony Hall, Birmingham.
Gerry Anderson: A Life Uncharted, released on Britbox last month, offers a glimpse into the life of the man behind the iconic shows such as Thunderbirds, Space: 1999, Captain Scarlet, Terrahawks, and many more.
GerryAnderson.com, Anderson Entertainment’s online shop, will also be running an extra special MCM London Comic Con Sale all weekend with a whopping 50 per cent off an expansive range of key titles and items.
This huge discount will provide the perfect introduction for new fans as well as treating those who want to renew their love of all things Anderson-related – so be sure not to miss out.

Facebook, Instagram and Twitter accounts, as well as checking out The Gerry
