Fans of classic British sci-fi have plenty of reason to celebrate. After celebrating 60 years of the franchise in 2025, Anderson Entertainment is continuing its celebration of Gerry Anderson’s Thunderbirds with a fleet of brand new comic books.
Two brand new books, hardcover collection Thunderbirds: Hidden Dangers – Tales of Peril and the first issue of a four-issue miniseries, Thunderbirds: Hidden Dangers – Burnout, made their debut in stores yesterday (13/11), bringing the fan-favourite series from the screen to the page.
Thunderbirds: Hidden Dangers is an expanding range of original stories set within the world of Gerry and Sylvia Anderson’s classic television series, exploring previously untold adventures involving the Tracy family and International Rescue.
The first title in the range, Thunderbirds: Hidden Dangers – International Rescues, was released in September 2026. The illustrated hardcover collection features 10 original prose stories by 10 authors, taking International Rescue from the depths of the ocean to the surface of the Moon.
International Rescue returns in Thunderbirds: Hidden Dangers – Tales of Peril, a brand-new hardcover comic anthology bringing original adventures to the world of Gerry and Sylvia Anderson’s classic television series.
Featuring stories and artwork from a talented team of comic-book creators, the 112-page collection offers fresh perspectives on the Tracy family’s extraordinary rescue missions, combining the spirit of classic Thunderbirds with contemporary comic-book storytelling.
The anthology is designed to appeal to longstanding Gerry Anderson fans and comic-book readers alike. Contributors involved in Tales of Peril include Paul Cornell, Keith Burns, Dan Whitehead, Dan McDaid and Lee Sullivan.
Meanwhile, International Rescue faces a dangerous new challenge in Thunderbirds: Hidden Dangers – Burnout, an original four-part comic-book adventure written by Chris Thompson and illustrated by Connor Flanagan.
While Lady Penelope and Parker investigate a top-secret rocket fuel facility, an emergency in the North Sea pushes the Tracy brothers to their limits. But as the rescue operation unfolds, a hidden threat threatens to make an already perilous situation even more dangerous.
Burnout #1 introduces the opening chapter of a larger four-issue story, combining classic Thunderbirds rescue action with mystery, suspense and new dangers for International Rescue.
The first issue is available in comic book stores now, with publication dates for issues 2–4 still to be announced.
Both titles will be showcased by Anderson Entertainment at Thought Bubble in Harrogate which is happening across this weekend. Visitors will have the opportunity to discover both new comics and meet members of the creative teams attending the festival.
