Happy Gerry Anderson day!

Glad I could finally get this idea done (it's been in my head for 2 years now how awful), thought I should actually do sommat for GA day (mainly cause I've been so focused on other stuff it's nice to go back to it) but also not to be a sop but without GA and the shows created I would not have many friends at all, I've met so many people via these shows (mainly tbirds obvs) and I'm so glad for it! So love y'all and enjoy Ur day!

I bring to you terror and joy.

The terror comes from this being the opening to a Gerry Anderson Supermarionation series. The technology to make these shows was amazing, using radio controlled faces with expertly puppeteered bodies to make affordable sci-fi for kids.

The outsized heads and lack of "chibification" however, made them beautifully uncanny. Delicious nightmares made plastic.

The joy is from the jaunty little ending credits tune "My Heart would be a Fireball", a wacky little pop love song in which the singer professes that his love is akin to the ship in the series. And you know how I love a kid's show theme trying really hard to be a pop song.

Also the main character's name is "Steve Zodiac" and not enough shows have the commitment to sparkle motion to do stuff like that these days.

The Elder Anderverse Trio (+ Wilbur Zero) are challenging each other who's has scariest "angry face".

Jeff: Scariest "Protective father/big bro face"

Samuel: Scariest "Mr. Grumpy face"

Wilbur: Scariest "Rage face"

...

Charles: *The top half of his face was shrouded in darkness. Only his blue eyes flashed with terrible light, as he wore a very cold expression - an icy stare of Fury and Death.*

Let's just say, the "baby bro" of the Anderdads scared the living bedjesus out of everyone and wins! 😆

Supermarionation Comics Collection

Something I’ve been working on a while, and want to share with the fans of the various Supermarionation shows!

I’ve been compiling a collection of all the comics for the Supermarionation shows (and comic-only ‘series’ of originals like Agent 21) in my gDrive with the intent of sharing it with the fanbase

And I’ve currently got it as complete as I currently can!

So now comes the time to share it!! ^_^

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1r1GFSAyatTzmWzTl9PFH6I4dqZyssJWl?usp=share_link

This link is set to editor so that everyone can download the comic scans to read them, but I ask that people please do not edit or delete the files and folders there!  (I have off-gDrive backups, but still)

I also have a gSheet ‘Comic Scan List’ file where I list the comic collections and what issues I’m missing.  If you have a scan to one of the missing issues, or have a physical copy of a missing issue that you can scan in, please let me know so I can add it to the collection! ^^

I have about half of the Annuals, Storybooks, and Specials

The TV Comic (Supercar & Fireball) is incomplete, but I’ve got about 2/3rds of it

I have no scans of the short Gold Key (Supercar & Fireball) run

The TV Century 21 -> TV21 -> TV21 & Joe 90 comics run is 100% complete       This is one of, if not the, most popular run of comics in the Anderverse fandom, so I’m really glad to have all the issues present!       The Action 21, Century 21 and Thunderbirds are Go, which were reprints of the TV21, are all 100% complete as well.

Lady Penelope’s stand alone comic magazine is incomplete.  I have the first 2/3rds of it, but I’m missing the final third.

The Solo comics ‘Mark of the Mysterons’ (issues19-31) is incomplete, missing 3 issues

TV Tornado’s ‘The Mysterons’ (issues 36-58) is complete

TV21 & Joe90: New Series is complete

Countdown is complete

Supermarionation is Go! (no comic issues but lots of fun behind the scenes info) is complete

Fleetway’s New Stingray (Volume 1 & Volume 2) is complete

Funday Times (issues 110-273) is incomplete, I’ve got about half of the issues

Fleetway’s New Thunderbirds is complete

Fleetway’s Captain Scarlet is complete

I have no scans for the Sunday Comics (issues 214-290) Captain Scarlet run

I have issues 1-89 of the Redan Thunderbirds comics, but I thiiiiiiiink there’s more issues?  Maybe?  I’m honestly not sure ^^;;

Burgess Observer(Aka Frosts town newspaper)FINAL ISSUE!

News!

MAIN HEADLINE:

Hathway wins election by a landslide!

Yes,it's true he won the Presidential elections by a landslide because a landslide blocked his opponents road out of his house and caused him to miss most of the last campaigns which were decisive as he had a lead.But without appearing to address several key states he had a decisive defeat and lost by a mere 0,1 percent of voters!Hathway is a relatively unknown candidate and was at a disadvantage to win,then again he was not known for anything bad either….

Pages 1-6

Local News!

GIANT MIRACLE!

Last night somebody(or somebodies)built an intricate 18 foot snowman of Paul Bunyan.As part of the Burgess snowman competition it won first place by a landslide!But no one has come forth as to who have built it,whoever did it must have done quite some work on this Ice giant as it is very detailed and looks life-like and is well…gigantic with the ice being practically melded together as if by magic.Whoever you are we all would like to thank you(and your team)for this not only is it the biggest snowman made in the county,but it also caused a rapid increase in tourist and sight-seekers visiting.

Pages 7-8
