*Boys’ Adventure & War Comics: From 1976,  the well-beloved weekly which was the home of cuddly man-eating shark Hookjaw and several other strips of remarkable controversy and violence! Pre-dating its longer-lived stablemate 2000 AD, and serving to ‘incubate’ much of 2000 AD’s talent, Action paved the way for a darker, bloodier and more cynical trend in boys’ adventure weeklies, with even the traditional genres of sport and war strips getting a nihilistic veneer – to the point where it was eventually banned from the newsstands, to re-emerge months later as a soft-serve shadow of its former self. New in this week we have the very first issue 14/2/76 VG £35 (pictured) and half a dozen other pre-ban issues. SORRY, THESE HAVE NOW SOLD
