Professor Popkiss

From the very first issue of TV Century 21 in 1965, Professor Popkiss stepped onto the Silver Age comics page as part of one of the most imaginative British publications of the decade. Created by Alan Fennell and Eric Eden for City Magazines, he shares his adventures with a remarkable cast including Steve Zodiac, Lady Penelope Creighton-Ward, and Mike Mercury — the kind of company that tells you everything about the thrilling, futuristic world this title inhabited. With 26 catalogued appearances concentrated in TV Century 21, Popkiss is a genuine piece of British Silver Age comics history, the sort of character who rewards the curious collector willing to dig into an era when UK comics were doing something genuinely exciting.
