TV Tornado

TV Tornado is a publication printed by Edgar Rice Burroughs Inc in the United Kingdom from January 1967 until September 1968. The series not only published comic strip stories, but also featured advertisements, celebrity themed articles, puzzles, short stories, jokes and more all targeted at a younger audience.

The series ran for 88 editions, with the Phantom appearing alongside other comic characters, including Batman, Superman, Tarzan, Flash Gordon, The Green Hornet and more. All covers are published in color containing approximately 24 gloss black and white internal pages measuring 23cm x 30cm.

The Phantom made an appearance within all 88 editions except for number 36. Phantom comic strip stories were printed on only a few pages in each edition, resulting in a Phantom story stretching over various editions.
