They did!  There was even an advert in Countdown comic which said something like "...due to differences in regional scheduling, it has not been possible to produce a new UFO annual for this year.  Instead, we are giving you the chance to buy last year's annual again."  OK, that's not exactly what it said, but that was the gist of it.  Believe it or not London, probably the single biggest market for UFO in the UK, didn't get it until 1971.  So many people simply wouldn't have had a clue what UFO was in 1970.  

I get what you are saying about a UFO annual for 1975/76... but this would be straying too far into the realms of conjecture and speculation, but I would love to see a UFO:1999 comic strip!  

The UFO ANNUAL 1972 is based purely on what was seen on television during 1970/71 and, as such, really is the annual that never was!  I have seen it and although I cannot say anymore, it really is incredible and easy to believe that it was produced 49 years ago.  It's Fanderson's first hardback book and it really is FAB!
