Sister Publications
In the UK, a sister publication was launched in the form of Lady Penelope, which featured Frank Langford's Lady Penelope comic strip. The comic ran for 204 issues; after 123 issues, the title was shortened to Penelope. It also included an Angels series of adventures as a prelude to the TV debut of Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons.
Besides TV Tornado, another similar comic was Solo, which like the former contained strips based on the Mysterons to acquaint readers further with the world of Captain Scarlet. TV Tornado also followed The Lone Ranger (1949 – 57), Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea (1964 – 68), Tarzan (1966 – 68), The Saint (1962 – 69) and The Man from U.N.C.L.E. (1964 – 68). Solo merged with TV Tornado prior to the latter's own merger with TV21.

—Elizabeth Fishel (20th century)
“Dr. Calder [a Unitarian minister] said of Dr. [Samuel] Johnson on the publications of Boswell and Mrs. Piozzi, that he was like Actaeon, torn to pieces by his own pack.”
