The Assassination Threat was a Thunderbirds comic printed in Lady Penelope in 1966.
The story was a continuation of plot threads started in its sister publication TV Century 21 by reintroducing Roger Lyon, an agent of Lady Penelope's, who featured in the Doctor Who universe crossover Mr. Steelman. Penelope's yacht FAB 2, which debuted in The Man from MI.5, the only episode of the television series to feature the Daleks, also appeared again.

Worldbuilding
- Bereznik agents are planning to assassinate the World Government Defence Minister in Paris while he is driving in a procession with the French President.
- Roger is staying in the hotel Scores-Vaneau.
- Parker drinks four glasses of lemonade in the Roof Top Club.
- After Lady Penelope breaks through a bedroom window, she promises to have someone round to fix it.
- Bereznik orders Clinger to obtain a photograph of Lady Penelope and transmit it to them for identification.
- Lady Penelope's car has an oil slip function.
- Sustaining a gunshot wound, Penelope tells Parker and Roger to take her to the Reinstat Clinic, seventy kilometres south of their current location.
- The Bereznik Secret Service receive a newspaper detailing the death of a person matching the description of Lady Penelope. A coffin is also seen leaving the clinic, thus putting them off the scent of her activities.
Story notes
- Like most of TV Century 21's comic stories from the same era, including those of The Daleks, this comic serial was not given a title in the pages of Lady Penelope during its original printing; the title instead comes from later reference sources.
Continuity
- Lady Penelope and Parker are preparing to leave Monte Carlo after "the Steelman affair". (COMIC: The Great Silver Robbery!)
