ALTERNATEEVEE: THE COMIC PERSUADERS

Thanks to 'Doctor Who' blogger Combom, here's an image from Countdown For TV Action #53 (for the week ending February 19, 1972) which shows Lord Brett Sinclair and Danny Wilde - as they would appear in the comic strip/book universe.

This adventure didn't happen to 'The Persuaders' in the TV Universe, but it could have; we just never saw it in the Trueniverse.

And thanks to the music video from a-Ha for "Take On Me" (a Toobworld essential) as well as the TV series 'Once A Hero', we know that characters from the comic strip world can cross over to Earth Prime-Time. So there even exists the possibility that Danny and Brett might have met their pen-and-ink doppelgangers at some point.....

BCnU!

Whoever the artist was, I think he did a great job capturing the likeness of Danny and Brett....
