Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons: The Vault - Limited Special Edition Black cover
This limited edition, of only 100 copies has the same content as the "Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons - The Vault" book by Chris Bentley, but sports a "Captain Black" cover, instead of a "Captain Scarlet" cover. At the time of their release, each copie was numbered and signed by the author, Chris Bentley. Because they were a collector's edition and were so limited, the price of course, was higher than the Standard Edition. They were only available through the Official Gerry Anderson Store and at the 'Standby for Action' Fanderson convention in September and October 2015, with Chris Bentley in attendance to sign them. |

Soon, a Cold War would break out between Earth and the alien Mysterons. This guide takes a look back at all of the episodes and how Captain Scarlet became our hero when fate made him indestructible.
