(As is one from DIANA.) Or maybe I'm thinking of one of the UK annuals. But there was definitely at least one more AVENGERS viking strip! And on top of that there was also a story either in TV COMICS or an annual that had John Drake contending with vikings. So apparently a new wave of viking invasions was a major concern for English schoolkids in the 1960s....<br /><br />For years I searched for bootlegs of the show DIANA, then a few years ago, an episode popped up on YouTube. It was great to see one, but sadly it wasn't the one that Patrick Macnee guest-starred on. THAT I'd really love to track down. You don't have a lead on it, do you?<br />Tannerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03910873055922510145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36879283.post-2148332093017240832017-03-21T17:39:36.608-07:002017-03-21T17:39:36.608-07:00Never heard of "Diana."

Basically, it was a copy of the Mary Tyler Moore show.<br /><br />Gold Key published an Avengers comic in 1968. The cover had a photo of Patrick MacNee and Diana Rigg, and it looked like the scene was from the episode "A Funny Thing Happened On the Way To the Station." The indicia on the first page listed the title as "The Avengers," but the cover logo said "John Steed Emma Peel." Presumably, to avoid confusion (and/or a trademark dispute) with Marvel Comics. It had two stories, both reprinted from a British magazine, TV Comic. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
