Titan 1981 - 1989. Book condition: G - Good. Black & White illustrations. A collection of Gerry Anderson themed magazines including Issue #1 of Action 21, 6 issues of S.I.G. and a very rare programme from the first run of the FAB stage show. S.I.G. In early 1981, David Nightingale launched a fanzine called Supermarionation Is Go! (from issue 4, titled S.I.G.). It coincided with the first Anderson convention which precipitated a wave of interest in Gerry Anderson series, including the formation of a fan club, Fanderson. SIG also benefited from printing technology which made fanzines much more affordable and attractive than in the 1970s. Another key influence was Nick Landau and his company Titan. A comics fan who had been a sub-editor on 2000 AD and Starlord, Landau started a comic distribution business called Titan in 1978, and a small store called Forbidden Planet in Denmark Street, London. This was a valuable new distribution channel for fanzines, and Landau took over distribution for Nightingale's fanzine, enabling it become rapidly more professional in quality. ACTION 21 #1 Released by Titan Distribution in 1988 and was the fantastic first issue in this monthly series.
