Looking For A TB Comic

by **Intensity Angel** » Fri Apr 13, 2012 1:55 pm

Hiya guys,

I'm looking for scans of the TV Century 21 comic 'Trouble at the Olympic Games' (aka The Olympic Kidnap Plot), Part 6 Issue 178, dated 15 June 1968.

Can anyone help me? I'm trying to find scans for a friend.

Good to see you, Intensity!

I'm at work right now, so I can't check, but I might actually have something at home that might help you. Give me a few days to sort this out, and I'll contact you through either PM or email to confirm this to you.

Be very hopeful!

Chris

I've just been checking my copy of TV21, issue 178, and there's nothing in there about the Olympic Games, although issue 177 refers to "marathon runners" in the Thunderbirds strip. Is that the story you mean?

Checked my collection and I do have the pages you need, Intensity. They're two of them, and they're on their way to you, so check your emails!

Indeed, both issues 177 and 178 mention marathon runners, and there I saw no line about the Olympics. However, Issue 173, which helds the first part of the story, DOES mention the events taking place during the 2068 Olympic Games. Italy will be the host of the games this time around, and they are held at the once active volcano Vesusius! There is a nice drawing of the stadium built within the volcano's cone...

Just hoping that indeed, Vesuvius will stay quiet during the duration of the Games...

Hang on, let's not give the Mysterons any ideas here!

Sorry about the delay!! I've been busy as I'm trying to make it as a professional writer!! Yeah, the comic you guys are talking about is the one I'm looking for. Chris, I changed my email adress after being hacked. I'll send you a pm with the new one. Thank you btw.

Waiting for your PM, then. Or you can write me an email. The site emails are still the same, and one of them can be used through one of the features of this forum.

A good idea would also be to update your profile on this forum, if your email isn't a correct one! Only members can access your email address on the forum, so your new address should be pretty much safe.

I've updated my profile now, and found a new avatar from a screencap I did. I've also gotten back into writing fan fiction, initially Dragon Ball Z. I'm now writing fan fiction for several different fandoms and I suspect I might end up doing another crossover.
