Hosted on the front cover by Doctor Who
(John Pertwee), Countdown arrived on our shelves dated 20th
February 1971. With the free gift of a "Giant Spacefact Wall
Chart with Stamps" and posing the question, 'Do Flying Saucers
Exist?', Countdown introduced an array of television stars, in
comic format, including Doctor Who in Gemini Plan, Dastardly
And Muttley, UFO, Thunderbirds, and Captain Scarlet.
