The Bionic Woman was a science fiction adventure TV series starring Lindsay Wagner as professional tennis player Jamie Sommers.
Jamie became critically injured in a sky diving accident and was saved by bionic implants;both legs,a bionic right arm and a bionic right ear.
Jamie is assigned to occassional secret missions for the OSI while working as a school teacher in her regular life.
Look-in started running the strip in 1976 soon after it was on our TVs.
The strips were written by Angus P Allan and were drawn by John M Burns and later John Bolton,who was best known for his incredible paintings for panels that no longer seemed comic strip style.
Issue 33 of Look-in 1976,featured an incredible 14 (of 32) of its pages taken up by bionic action,with features,posters,competitions etc.Considering that Look-in was a magazine that normally was a mixture of many different shows,music and sport,this issue seems more like a Bionic special addition.
Furthermore,for the following three years,all of Look-ins 4 colour strip pages would be devoted to both the Six Million Dollar Man and Bionic Woman and in reality we would not see a non-bionic colour strip in Look-in again until 1979 with the advent of Dick Turpin.

We lived in a bionic time. I remember kids running in slow motion and making a du du du du du du du noise when committing any action!
