"UFO" over the TV

Not so many people know that Gerry Anderson's TV series UFO wasn't only a TV series: there were some comics, films and more, too.

In Italy, for example, were produced many UFO compilation movies, because the Italian-language UFO was aired on the regional television channel of the Swiss Republic and Canton of Ticino and only in northern Italy people watched it: UFO - Allarme rosso... attacco alla Terra! (1973), UFO - Distruggete Base Luna (1973; this movie served as namesake for a board game, too), UFO - Prendeteli vivi (1974) and UFO - Contatto radar... stanno atterrando...! (1974) and UFO - Annientate SHADO... Uccidete Straker... Stop! (1974).
In 1971, 1972 and 1973, American magazines Countdown and TV Action published fourty-eight UFO comic strips, too.
But it isn't all: in 1970, Pan Books Ltd. publixhed a book titled Gerry Anderson's UFO #1 (ISBN:0330026445).
