Magazines launched a wild-child on the news-stands called Action.The winning formula was to take themes that were popular in films and television as a meter for kid's tastes and turn them into colourful,kinetic comic strips.                                                               'Action',originally seen as anti-authoritarian,vicious and dangerous,but it was lifeblood to its audience: against all odds the circulation began to rise as word spread about the comic with attitude.Once the shape of 'Action' had been moulded and an editor appointed,Pat Mills was invited to create another new title,and was given unprecedented licence and freedom by I.P.C.'s management.The idea for a science fiction comic came from Kelvin Gosnell,fresh out of the company's Competitions department but destined to be 2000AD's first editor.Gosnell had read an article about SF movies being made in Hollywood.Films such as Rollerball and Logan's Run mixed futuristic adventure with violence in the style of Pat Mill's new vision for comics,and with Star Wars and Close Encounters of the Third Kind on the horizon,a science fiction comic was a potential winner.The idea evolved into the seminal 2000AD,a distillation of film and television hits and potential hits,processed by Pat Mills and further distorted with a futuristic twist.If 'Action' was the punk of I.P.C.'s comics,2000AD was Death Race 2000,filled with gutsy,bloody stories that struck a nerve.See also rja1954 to rja1960,rja1962 and rja1964 inclusive.                                                                                                     Please contact rpaxtonden@blueyonder.co.uk ,because of the lighter weight of this item,for correct shipping/P+p quotes - particularly ALL overseas buyers - BEFORE ordering through the order page!
