Yes, the screwiest looking Enterprise. It looks almost like you could run it and get a genie. So painted by someone whos seen the stills and not the show. (Same as Gold Key at the outset). Lou Stringer notes from his wonderful blog: While TV CENTURY 21 rightfully receives great praise for its place in comics history, a similar comic which followed is less well known. COUNTDOWN was launched by Polystyle Publications in early 1971, and was basically TV21 under a new name. By this time the publishers of TV21 had lost or relinquished the rights to comic strips based on Gerry Anderson tv shows and Polystyle had acquired them. Establishing the similarity between the two comics even further, the editor of Countdown was TV21s ex-art editor Dennis Hooper. Apparently Hooper was an admirer of the DOCTOR WHO tv series so a strip version of that appeared in COUNTDOWN too, liberated from its previous home in TV COMIC and upgraded with a higher standard of stories and artwork.
