The new TV21 #243 is available now from NETWORK. It contains a new Project SWORD story and illustration, the first since 1968! It forms part of a limited edition box set of Anderson goodies, the highlight of which is the new documentary FILMED IN SUPERMARIONATION.
Let me know if your lucky enough to get one!
The last Project SWORD in TV21 was actually in March '2069'... >_<
ReplyDeleteActually if you want to be really pedantic it's now 2014 in this' new edition,' but now I've read it I'm quite happy to agree with you Shaqui ! : - )
ReplyDeleteSo you've read the new Project Sword and didn't like it, is that what you're saying?
ReplyDeleteI've read it Shaqui and I wouldn't say I don't like it. It's just an average Joe story with a monster and a mention of a Sramble Bug. I won't expand as it would obviously be unfair to anyone who hasn't read it. Even the accompanying illustration which is very well drawn btw doesn't even feature any Sword vehicles. In fact apart from John M Burns Lady Penelope comic strip I found the 243 TV21 a huge let down when it came to the art work. Gerry Embleton's Stingray looked lacklustre and correct me if I'm wrong but I'm sure Lady Penelope's outfit in the Thunderbird strip is from the hidious Frakes film. Even the paper it's printed on looks cheap. Oh and don't get me started on the sub standard packaging !
ReplyDeleteGuess that puts the blog out of the running for ever getting to hear about the other SWORD story ideas that were being considered... or the strip. >_<
ReplyDeleteThats a little churlish, don't you think?
ReplyDeleteOoh! Tantalising Shaqui. ..and a strip. Well if Network were thinking of including it in the 243 TV21 I won't be losing any sleep over it.
ReplyDeleteBTW I think I should mention that the Documentary , the Supermarionation book and the HD Blu rays are excellent, and as to the damaged packaging, a quick call to Network and they are sending me new inserts so all's well that end well.
