City Magazines was a British publisher of weekly comics and men's magazines that operated from the mid-1950s to the mid-1970s. The company's most notable publications were comics magazines based on licensed television properties, including TV Century 21 and Lady Penelope, both of which featured comics based on Gerry Anderson's Century 21 Productions Supermarionation shows.
A number of City Magazine titles were absorbed by IPC Magazines in the late 1960s; the company ceased operations in c. 1974, with its remaining assets coming under the control of the Daily Express.
