With a little while to go before my initial sale of several issues of the iconic 1960s comic TV Century 21 and other issues ends, I’ve just put #4 of this great 1960s iconic comic up for auction on ebay.
In addition to the usual mix of strips – Fireball XL5, Stingray, The Daleks and more – the issue also features a rather nice half page black and white cutaway of Stingray.
There’s still time to bid on #2 (with the free sticker badge given away with the issue), #79 with a Thunderbirds cover and #84 with a Stingray-related cover, and three Dalek cover issues: #28 (which includes several features on the Amicus Doctor Who and the Daleks film starring Peter Cushing) #36 and #50.
