If you're anything like me, you'll associate certain comics with where you lived at the time you bought them.  However, sometimes I'll associate the title of a comic series with an area, even more than what it perhaps deserves if I look at things proportionately.  As an example of what I mean, take TV Century 21, the first 42 or 43 issues of which remind me of the house and neighbourhood I was then living, even though the remaining 199 or 200 issues were published when I lived elsewhere.  However, mention the comic's name to me and I immediately think of the previous house and environs before their successors.

Same with TV Action.  When it was called Countdown (for its first 58 issues), I only started buying it when it began reprinting Fireball XL5, Stingray, Thunderbirds, and Captain Scarlet strips from TV21.  With issue 59, it became TV Action, and I acquired the first 12 issues (59-70) under its new (main) name while I was living in one house, and the remaining 62 issues (it ceased publication with #132) while living in another.  Actually, I can't swear I bought every one of those 62 numbers as I may've jumped ship when The Mighty World Of Marvel appeared on the scene, but those first 12 issues are the ones that most resonate with me.

Surely I should associate either of those two weeklies with the areas in which a higher number of issues were published than a smaller amount, not the other way around?  Or am I overthinking things again?  Never mind, the preceding preamble is merely a long-winded excuse for me to feature that dozen-ish run in a mini cover gallery.  Hope you enjoy it.

H'm, think I lost you all with the personal reminiscence bit, so let's start again.  Hey, Crivs - here's a TV Action cover gallery... feel free to comment.

I specifically remember reading this particular issue in my bedroom one day, a mere four days before
flitting to my current house, so it would've spent more time in my new abode than my old one.  And
yet, in the caverns of memory, it remains indelibly associated with the bedroom of my former home
