Valiant and TV21 was a British comic strip anthology magazine. This publication continued the Star Trek: The Original Series UK comic strips series from 1971 to 1973, serializing the last 13 weekly stories (arcs 25-37).
There was also one annual: Valiant and TV21 Summer Special 1972.
The first issue's cover included a drawing of Spock, while the second issue's cover contained page 3 of the storyline for "The Aging World". Subsequent stories were serialized two pages per issue on the center spread, all drawn by John Stokes. Strips unrelated to Star Trek were printed in b/w. The publication was 9" x 11.25".
Beginning with issue #3, the "Who is it?" feature on covers depicted historical and modern public figures, including several who appeared or were referenced in Star Trek, such as authors Arthur Conan Doyle, Jules Verne and H.G. Wells; American presidents Dwight Eisenhower, Ulysses S. Grant and Abraham Lincoln; Morgan Earp, Virgil Earp, Wyatt Earp, John Holliday, Genghis Khan, Napoleon, and Leonardo da Vinci; and the character of Sherlock Holmes.
