Countdown was a British comic published weekly by Polystyle Publications – ultimately, under several different titles – from 1971 to 1973. The pages in each issue were numbered in reverse order, with page 1 at the end – a gimmick which was derived from the comic’s title in order to create a “countdown” to the number one every week.
The strips included, many of which were reprinted from TV21
“Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons”
“Countdown” – the eponymous “Countdown” strip
“Dastardly and Muttley”
“Doctor Who”
“Fireball XL5”
“Joe 90”
“Lady Penelope”
“The Persuaders!”
“The Secret Service”
“Stingray”
“Thunderbirds”
“UFO”
“Zero-X”
