[all-action-all-picture]

Action: The Story of a Violent Comic by Martin Barker, 1990. This hardcover book is a mixture of text, detailing the history of the UK weekly comic, and reprints of a batch of weekly strips from five of the main stories. There are also some pages that never made it to print. Along with the text you get 24 episodes of Death Game 1999, 23 x Look out for Lefty!, 21 x Hook Jaw, 11 x Kids Rule O.K.! and 4 x Dredger. It's a bit of mixture though and there are no complete runs of any of the stories reprinted inside.

The comic, which debuted in February 1976, was never "Banned!!!" as the cover background appears to claim. It was put on hiatus by its own publisher for a period while changes were made to its content. Action had been courting controversy for some time but it was the issue dated 18 September 1976 where the title effectively handed in its 'four week notice'.

The Kids Rule O.K.! cover showed a youth brandishing a chain and about to attack what appeared to be a policeman.

In Look Out For Lefty! the title character's girlfriend throws a bottle at a player during a football match. This was was followed by similar acts of hooliganism in subsequent weeks.

The comic was put on hiatus after the issue dated 16 October 1976. There is disagreement these days over how many copies were printed of the issue dated 23 October with some claiming it went to a full print run. It doesn't matter though as they never went on sale. The cover blurbs alone would have caused problems. The title returned with the issue cover dated 4 December 1976 and ran for nearly another year before merging with Battle Picture Weekly.

the key to enjoying the magnus archives is understanding that every single person is a bitch. name a character and i can tell you right now they have the most petty bitchy tendencies. you have to understand that all of these characters are absolutely insufferable bitches and there's nothing any of us can do except say slay king live your truth. they served cunt and if innocents died along the way that's none of my business thank you

#whether youre an avatar of a fear #or....an avatar of a fear with slightly more of a moral compass #youre a bitch #i think sasha is the only person that isnt a bitch #but i think if she'd had more screen time #we would have seen her true side #tma #the magnus archives #jonathan sims #martin blackwood #sasha james #basira hussain #melanie king #georgie barker #tim stoker #daisy tonner #elias bouchard #peter lukas #simon fairchild

Worked together with @brakendraw to make a Magnus Archives tarot print series 👁👁👁

We each choose 2 pairings and the card we think fits them. Here's my Jon & Martin as The Tower and Melanie and Georgie as the Hanged man 👁👁👁

These and Braken's 2 pieces will be available as prints at Y/con Paris this week end (4/5 nov 23)!

m/m gouge your eyes out and run away together

m/f go to Manchester and dig through the ruins of a burned down building together

f/f leave your fears behind and walk the post apocalyptic world unharmed together

Getting into the Magnus Archives fandom before you finish the series is wild because they’ve all made a collective decision to pretend the cast loves each other and it’s all just an office drama, supported by copious fanfic and fanart and things. And then you get to the actual content and it’s like,, most of them genuinely hate each other. Not even in a cute way, they genuinely want each other to die
