Description: Action comic #18 12th June 1976 Action was a highly popular yet controversial comic that was launched by IPC in Feb 1976. Featuring the likes of Hook Jaw (a killer Great White shark), Blackjack (a boxing story), Dredger (a rough and tough secret agent) and Look out for Lefty (a football story which at times seemed to promote hooliganism). It was a violent and gritty comic that its readership loved and the authorities loathed. The authorities ultimately won and the comic was paused for a few weeks from Oct-Dec 1976 and relaunched with softer content but, from then on, it didn't quite have the following and was merged with Battle within a year. The issues from Feb-Oct 1976 are known as pre-ban issues and from Dec 1976 to Nov 1977 as post-ban issues. Please note that the pre-ban issues didn't have issue numbers (just dates) but I have assigned a notional issue number for the run of 36 issues from Feb-Oct 1976. This #18 issue has very bright cover colours and cream pages. The pages have signs of discolouration / browning to the edges. The comic is in fantastic condition and has been really well looked after, stored in a protective sleeve & flat. No rips or tears & colours are vibrant.
