U.F.O. Comics Countdown and TV Action

Check out the TV series in comic form!

UFO is a sci-fi drama series that tells the story of an international team of experts (SHADO) who counter and investigate Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) and protect the planet from alien invasion ..

More than just a show

UFO wasn’t just a TV show, it was also a comic book series that tells the story of the TV show. It’s a fresh, new way to experience the mystery and thrills of UFO.

Exploring UFO together

UFO TV series comics are based on episodes from the real-life UFO TV show. The comics explore what might have happened to the characters in between episodes and make you feel like you’re part of the investigation team, uncovering secrets and solving mysteries.


These comic strips have kindly been uploaded to the SHADO Facebook Group by kind volunteers (Martin Goldsack being the main one). I’d also like to thank Ian from the SHADO Forum for the updated and new versions, and Leo Cudder (Admin SHADO Facebook group) for her time and effort scanning some of the more complex colour editions.

The UFO TV Series inspired these comic strips, see your favourite characters in action.

The comics originally appeared in Countdown/TV Action comic published in the early 1970’s.

I’ve created the website to make them easier to navigate and view, as well as provide more information about them. It’s aim is to get feedback about the strips for review, so please leave comments on the strips, nostalgia always welcome!

When you see the comic strips, you can drag across (right to left) to read, or click on the dots below them, or click the left/right arrows at the edges of the page. The comics  resize to whatever you’re viewing them on.

Thanks to John Peter Britton for allowing me to use his artwork for the site headers.
