TV21 - On The Run (Who's Gonna Get Me First?)
Monocled AlchemistTV21 | International Rock Rescue On The Go!
TV21, an Edinburgh band, faced struggles amidst the changing music scene of 1981, marked by their rock sound losing appeal as pop shifted towards disco. Despite setbacks, including single flops, they possess talent and promise showcased in their debut album, 'A Thin Red Line'. Reflecting on the industry, they seek to refine their musical identity and re-engage with songwriting.https://monocledalchemist.com/2026/02/06/tv21-international-rock-rescue-on-the-go/
Strange QuarkBrowsing the shelves of #WHSmith in the airport, I chanced upon #DoctorWho Liberation of the #Daleks. I haven't seen this before, but it looks like a fan tribute to the old #TV21 #Dalek comic strips of the #1960s, featuring the Golden Emperor Dalek and then switching to the page layout typical of those comics. Beautiful.
Doctor RooThis comic-strip from TV21 was the closest the Earth people ever got to escaping the Land of the Giants in either the comic or on television. Of course, whenever victory was in their grasp, cruel fate always seemed to intercede to keep the Earthlings stranded, and this would be no exception...
On Sunday mornings I like to relive my youth by re-reading old TV21 comics. I'm into the 'new series' now, which was after TV21 merged with Joe 90 comic. Even at the time I knew TV21's glory days were over. I was mainly buying the comic for the Land of the Giants and Star Trek strips.
This was my favourite Land of the Giants cover and story from that era.
TV21 & Joe 90 issue 15, January, 1970.
Another one of my #Dalek #drawings, from 45 years ago.
I think the Dalek holding the torch and the Golden Emperor Dalek looking up were inspired by this comic strip story (originally published in #TV21 but reprinted in the Dalek Annual #1978).
