The Gerry Anderson Complete Comic History

by **shaqui** » Tue Jan 18, 2005 8:11 am

Upload Two is scheduled for 23rd January 2005 - the 40th anniversary of 'TV Century 21' - and is something of a rarities special, including 'Project SWORD' Pt1, 'Starcruiser' Pt1, 'The Investigator' and the short-lived Manga 'Space Precinct' magazine.

Of interest to 'Captain Scarlet' fans are complete guides to 'The Mark of the Mysterons' from 'Solo', and 'The Mysterons' from 'TV Tornado'. There will also be a guide to the 'Thunderbirds Are Go!' strip adaptions, from the Daily Mail newspaper over Christmas 1966, and 'TV Century 21' and 'Lady Penelope'.

Be there!

Well I can find Space Precinct, The Investigator and the Specials but no sign of the others- links are broken all over the site.

No sign of Project Sword, Starcruiser, Catch or kill, Frontpage etc
and there's no info to what's been uploaded for update 2.

The links are there on the index page - and most of them on the side menu.

I contacted shaqui to tell him about it, if ever he shouldn't see this message on the forum that soon.

They weren't there at 7.10 am this morning, I knew I was too keen!
Thanks to all concerned for another great piece of work. Awesome, you're all just too good!

Thanks for your comments.

It is not always a case of links being broken (but I have found a misdirected link which I'll correct shortly) but that each section (say, Thunderbirds) will show all the years of that strip in the series directory on the left side of the page.

These links become active as each page/year becomes live. And, as you'll appreciate, with over 100 pages (each featuring up to a year of each strip) we can't do this all in one go. The site has already been in production for two years prior to the launch but if we had waited until we had covered them all - the launch wouldn't take place for several more!

The editorial of each Upload contains a 'contents page' showing what is included in that Upload. And you can access this from the editorial page of Upload Two (and consequent Uploads).

With regard to the index, which Chris mentioned in his email, it was hoped this would be complete for Upload Two (hence its appearance in the directory, which was prepared some weeks before) but will have to wait until Upload Three. This will show all pages to be covered, and their status as live, or previsionally scheduled.

Please bear with us - this is a monumental work-in-progress, and we want to do the best website possible.

The tremendous work presented by maintaining a site to its peek is also a task I'm very much aware of! There's always set-backs and/or problems you have to take care of.

Don't worry, shaqui! I do understand you PERFECTLY :grin:

You're doing a wonderful job with this site of yours, and all your efforts are appreciated!
