Seven new personalised books are now available, re-packaging collections previously published by Egmont UK, priced at £14.99 each.
The books offer different collections of the original 1960s and 1970s comic book strips, along with classic artwork from Frank Bellamy, Eric Eden, Graham Bleathman, John Cooper and Frank Hampson.

The hardback editions can be personalised with a name that can be embossed on the front cover, while the softback versions feature a name on the front cover and in the header of every internal page.
“Thunderbirds was a must-watch programme in every household, and the comics were incredibly sought after when first published for many 60s and 70s children,” notes Kevin Sears, ecommerce director at Gifts Hub.
