Amos Burke

Debuting in the very first issue of TV Century 21 in 1965, Amos Burke is a Silver Age character born from that gloriously optimistic era when British comics were riding high on the wave of Gerry Anderson's puppet-powered pop culture. Published by City Magazines and Century 21 Publications, he found his home in one of the most beloved British anthology comics of the decade, sharing those iconic pages with luminaries like Lady Penelope Creighton-Ward, Parker, Steve Zodiac, and Mike Mercury — as prestigious a roster of Silver Age companions as any character could hope for. With 34 catalogued appearances across TV Century 21's run, Burke is a genuine piece of that thrilling mid-sixties moment when British comics felt like the future itself. For collectors chasing the full picture of what made TV Century 21 such a landmark publication, Amos Burke is a name worth tracking down.
