These pieces of art capture the timeless spirit of Captain Scarlet, making them a worthy addition to any collection.

Captain Scarlet‘s reach and influence are monumental – with its footprints in over 40 countries and translations into 17 languages. Now, fans can indulge in the classic series and the CGI revamp on BritBox and ITVX.
