Sorry I only just rediscovered this thread... ooh, now you're asking... never been called redoubtable either. Whatsit mean? :wink:

Officially of course, these aren't comic tie-ins, but one (I think a Lady Penelope LP which had one of her mini-album adventures backed with another like Marina or Thunderbirds) did have a message about her new comic, dating it to early 1966.

Starting around from around late 1965, there were (in order of release and serial number):

MA100 Journey To The Moon (Fireball XL5) (original)

MA101 Stingray: Into Action With Troy Tempest (original)

MA102 Stingray: A Trip To Marineville (original)

MA103 Introducing Thunderbirds (original)

MA104 Stingray: Marina Speaks (original)

MA105 TV21 Themes

MA106 The Daleks

MA107 FAB (aka The Abominable Snowman) (original)

MA108 Thunderbirds: Thunderbird 1 (Trapped In The Sky)

MA109 Thunderbirds: Thunderbird 2 (End Of The Road)

MA110 Lady Penelope: The Stately Home Robberies (original)

MA111 Lady Penelope Themes

MA112 Thunderbirds: Thunderbird 3 (Sunprobe)

MA113 Thunderbirds: Thunderbird 4 (Terror In New York City)

MA114 Thunderbirds: Perils Of Penelope

MA115 Topo Gigio

MA116 Thunderbirds: Themes

MA117 Space Age Nursery Rhymes

MA118 Thunderbirds: Vault of Death

MA119 Thunderbirds: Desperate Intruder

MA120 Thunderbirds: The Imposters

MA121 Thunderbirds: Day of Disaster

MA122 Thunderbirds: The Cham Cham

MA123 Thunderbirds: Alias Mr Hackenbacker

MA124 Thunderbirds: Brink of Disaster

MA125 Thunderbirds: Atlantic Inferno

MA126 Thunderbirds: Ricochet

MA127 Tingha & Tucker Nursery Rhyme Time

MA128 Thunderbirds: One Move & You're Dead

MA129 Thunderbirds: 30 minutes After Noon

MA130 Tingha & Tucker Wombaville Band

MA131 Introducing Captain Scarlet

MA132 Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons (original)

MA133 Captain Scarlet Is Indestructible (original)

MA134 Captain Scarlet Of Spectrum (original)

the Rezillos had singles called 2000AD and Thunderbirds are go - David Bowie sang a song with Dan Dare mentioned in it in the late 70s (called "DJ") and the Damned had a song about Leo Baxendales character Grimley Fiendish in the 70s.

My early-nineties short-lived indie band the Zebras had a song called 'Jimmy Jinx'. I co-wrote it with our drummer.

Mustn't forget the Kinks classic 'Superman'!

Then there was the new wave band the Star Jets with their War Stories single with its chorus of;
War stories - Sgt Fury
War stories - Captain Hurricane

You'll be humming it to yourselves all day now trying to remember the rest of it. :wink:

I don't know this one I'm shocked 1979-1982 was my biggest record collection period :o Just had a look in my book The Starjets had 9 singles and one LP.
War stories came out in 1979 were they a punky band?
