CREATOR EXCLUSIVE
Back In Action
The ‘70s weekly goes back to its roots with “Kids Rule OK” and “Death Game”
WORDS: STEPHEN JEWELL
► SCI-FACT! A graphically violent cover of “Kids Rule OK”, drawn by Carlos Ezquerra, led to a public backlash that contributed to Action’s demise.
→ IN ADDITION TO SECOND WORLD War German tank commander “Hellman Of Hammer Force” and ultra-violent secret agent Dredger, the short-lived but infamous UK weekly Action – along with its successor Battle Action – included some key sci-fi strips, including the Rollerball-esque “Death Game 1999” and post-apocalyptic drama “Kids Rule OK”.
