The Filth bears no resemblance to UFO in any way whatsoever I can't imagine where you got that idea from

This was always my favourite Gerry Anderson TV series (it certainly had the coolest theme music) so II'd like to check this title out. Also, very good timing as green people are currently big (and then some) in pop culture.

Never mind Thunderbirds, I want to see a big screen version of UFO.

Get Your Wig On: Grab the theme music via this site: http://ufoseries.com/. Plus more UFO stuff than you can shake a stick at.

hmmmm the thing i find most interesting is the carlton logo on the cover... a uk television company putting out a comic - a good sign for the future, no?

methinks so, sleaze. and funny this wasn't mentioned elsewhere. I came across this on a brazilian comics importer catalog.

and arcboi, this is where I took the resemblance from, among other places:

“It's Gerry Anderson for paranoid schizophrenics”.

and:

'It doesn't even try to take itself seriously. It's relaxed and fun Morrison with some vodka, talking shit in the sunshine. The "Gerry Anderson" moment promised in his PR is riotous, with its THUNDERBIRDSy Hand-Mobile and the UFO electrostatic wig.'

duh, I should have guessed the italics were for irony, not for stress.
