Andersonic is an A5 fanzine which covers the films and television series of Gerry and Sylvia Anderson. Each issue contains features and articles which explore and discuss their many series, from the black and white Supercar and Fireball XL5, 60s series Stingray, Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet, Joe 90 and The Secret Service; the live-action series UFO and Space:1999 and later stuff such as Terrahawks and right up to date with New Captain Scarlet. In previous issues we have also covered the films Doppelganger and Into Infinity - as well as a look at other productions which they have influenced. We also take a closer look at the work of some of the series' luminaries - writers and directors such as Dennis Spooner, Johnny Byrne and David Tomblin, and the comic strip artists including Frank Bellamy and Mike Noble.
Andersonic is published every 6 months (very approximately) and is available to buy via this website plus one or two other outlets, and via eBay around the time of publication. Issue 13 is now available, Terraineans. All issues are still in print and available from this site. If you'd like to be kept informed of the availability of current and future issues, please send an email and you'll be added to the mailing list.
The fanzine is run on a strictly non-profit basis.
