The Atlanta Kidnap Affair was a Stingray comic printed in TV Century 21 in 1965.
The story was a crossover with the Doctor Who universe. As well as resolving the cliffhanger from the previous story Curse of the Crustavons, it also tied-in to the multi-series "Space War" story arc, which focused on a war between 2060s humanity and the inhabitants of the planet Astra, first mentioned in The Rescue. The conclusion of this story led into the events of the next issue of TV Century 21, particularly Assassins Escape! and Stingray, which both heavily involved the crew of the titular submarine.
