PENELOPE UK ANNUAL 1970 Century 21 Publishing Ltd. British annuals are normally a collection of new and reprint material with color and black and white interiors. Published annually in hard cover, they are dated, if at all, one year ahead of the copyright. Most annuals contain illustrated text stories, comic strips and features such as puzzles, games, sometimes-even articles. Annuals based on TV shows often carry many photos from the show. The art, mainly unaccredited, is average to good. Sometimes you find a gem. Lady Penelope from Thunderbirds was spun off into her own comic series to appeal to “girls”. After 125 issues they dropped the “Lady” to become Penelope Comics and the annuals followed suit in 1969. This is the first Penelope annual and it is a mixture of pop, fashion and food along with the usual comic and stories. The stories range over the life and times of Lady Penelope and fill in many gaps never touched in the show. The art is always excellent with some strips outstanding there are four Penelope strips and two Perils of Parker ones. This oversized book contains 96 pages, including painted photographic covers.
