CENTURY 21 PUBLISHING UPDATE

A few updates for collectors:

Bengo Annual by Century 21 (released 1969) as a spin off/tie-in. The dog Bengo appeared in the Candy and Andy comics [source: Graeme Bleatham]

ATV Merchandise: Fanderson's FAB magazine contained a piece on Gerry Anderson's ITC merchandise not from his own series. It appears that Century 21 also published under the name 'ATV Merchandise'. It says that their first 'license' was for 'The Saint' so the later 'Saint' annuals + books were made under license from C21.

Exclusive licenses: The Champions, The Prisoner & Man in A Suitcase, so The Champions book (Sixth Sense is Death),the Man In A Suitcase book (Sleeping Cupid) and The Prisoner Dinky Mini Moke were all made under licence to Century 21

Century 21 also had an exclusive license to 'Department S' and it appeared as a strip in the later 'TV Century 21 & TV Tornado' Comic, these strips were later reprinted in Holland in their comic 'TV2000' - later they added all the stories together and brought it out as a one-off/collection with no credit to Century 21 (Is this the same thing as the Dutch 'Monkees' annual?).

I would like to thank Bernard Dunne for the above information.
