TV Tornado, briefly known as TV Tornado and Solo after absorbing Solo, was an English publication which printed articles and tie-in comic strips to popular children's series. It was published across eighty-eight issues from 1967 through 1968, as well as several annuals.

Unlike other City Magazines-published titles TV Century 21 and Lady Penelope, TV Tornado printed no Doctor Who universe stories which this Wiki considers valid, but it hosted Doctor Who-related non-fiction articles and features on a semi-regular basis.

TV Tornado also contributed to the expanded Gerry Anderson supermarionation universe (of which The Daleks had previously been a part) when The Mysterons comic strip, a prequel series to Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons, started in the thirty-sixth issue. The Man from U.N.C.L.E. featured as text stories from the first issue and had been absorbed into this universe in Lady Penelope but was not conceived as such upon its inception as a television series.

Following the eighty-eighth issue, cover dated 14 September 1968, it was merged into TV21, which became TV21 and Tornado beginning with #192. The Saint and Tarzan were the only strips to survive the move and the magazine's title reverted to TV21 after another fifty-one issues.
