Hitting the shelves of newsagents' across Britain in February of 1976, ACTION #1 was a more anarchic, savage type of comic than it's predecessors like VALIANT and LION. Within a relatively short time it was attracting the wrong kind of attention from the media for its graphic depictions of violence, and was withdrawn from circulation and then relaunched as a more anaemic, less potentially offensive periodical until it was merged with BATTLE in November of 1977. However, legend has it that it inspired PAT MILLS to create one of the U.K.'s longest-lasting comics, 2000 A.D.

Took my eye off the ball when this came out and missed a CLASSIC!
I never thought much of it, JP. And I hated the typeset lettering.
