I am missing the issues of the Japanese manga magazine Comic Weapon Cyber Comix, which featured a UFO strip called UFO 1988, set a few years after the end of the TV series, with stories involving the usual characters and heavily updated SHADO technology. The series was published from 1988 into the early 1990s. If anyone knows an inexpensive way to get a hold them, please drop me a line at enik1138-at-popapostle-dot-com.
Also, please see my article of reminiscences about UFO at the Ed Straker Herald.
