"The Enemy Spy" is a Lady Penelope comic story, first published over four pages in the 1965 TV Century 21 Summer Extra as an untitled adventure.
The story was illustrated by Frank Hampson, who was best known for creating and illustrating Dan Dare, a comic hero series published in Eagle. It would be Hampson's only contribution to Thunderbirds media. Only the last two pages were in colour for its original publication, with the first two being in black and white to save costs.
