Action 50th Anniversary Special

Before 2000 AD there was Action!

Action was always ahead of the curve… and sometimes pushed its luck just a bit too far. Celebrating 50 years since the first issue of the original series which inspired readers across the country, we're publishing an all-new oversized Special which brings back all the shock and awe of the original series! 

Featuring a powerhouse lineup of writers and artists including Garth Ennis, Rob Williams, John Higgins, Staz Johnson and more, Action presents a brutal lineup of its heaviest hitters.

Hook Jaw the killer shark takes on a gang of international drug-dealers; no-nonsense cop Dredger seeks vengeance against the men who killed his partner; and footballer Kenny "Lefty" Lampton has a memorable meeting with the King of England. Action is back, and more controversial than ever!
