The Long Road Back was a 21 comic printed in TV Century 21 in 1966.
It was the final part of the second crossover story arc in the pages of TV21 to focus on the inhabitants of the planet Astra, first mentioned in The Rescue. Instead of directly featuring the Astrans, The Long Road Back once again followed Brent Cleever after his resignation from the Universal Secret Service to seek revenge for the murder of Tina Palamac in Andromeda Or Die, a fate ultimately sealed by Astra's presence in that story.
