Kids Rule OK - Jack Adrian & Mike White. UK Comics Archive Compilations

Kids Rule OK

Written by Jack Adrian, and illustrated by Mike White.

Kids Rule OK! was probably the most violent strip Action had to offer.

Set in the far-flung future of 1986, it’s basically A Clockwork Orange for teenagers, as a plague wipes out every adult in Britain, leaving the country’s population of kids to fend for themselves.

Over the course of the strip’s run, even some of Action’s staff felt it was all going a bit too far, and repeatedly toned it down, cutting certain panels and obscuring the gory details in others, even before the ban came in.

After the ban, when Action briefly returned to the nation’s shelves, strips like Dredger & Hook Jaw were severely neutered into pale shadows of their former selves.

Kids Rule OK! however, didn’t come back, and was simply abandoned halfway through the story.

Heros the Spartan. Frank Bellamy, Luis Bermejo, Tom Tully - UK Comics Archive Compilations

In 1962 Frank Bellamy was asked to draw a new Roman

epic strip for the Eagle, written by Tom Tully.

Heros begins with a brief explanation about how,

as a young boy, Sparta falls to The Roman advance through

Greece (around 145 BC). 

Arcus, commander of a Roman legion,admires his enemies even as

 he slays them and when a child

survivor is brought to him, he adost the boy whom he names Heros.

The dark fantasy elements of  the story allowed artist

Frank Bellamy full reign to his imagination.

After two episodes (1963) Bellamy temporarily abandons the series and leaves it for an adventure with Luis Bermejo whose work is perfectly up to par. 

The Spanish designer takes up the style of the English and succeeds remarkably. 

Some even prefer Bermejo's design and colors. Bellamy returns for a new adventure, 

leaves room for Bermejo again and returns one last time for 

a short episode published in the 1966 Eagle Almanac.

 Content: 

143 pages Eagle   Years: 1962-1966

19 pages Eagle Annual  Years: 1965—1967

Total pages 165.  Uncluiding the front- and backpage

Abbott & Costello - UK Comics Archive Compilation

Abbott and Costello were an American comedy duo composed of Bud Abbott and Lou Costello, whose work on radio and in film and television made them the most popular comedy team
 of the 1940s and early 1950s.
Their patter routine “Who’s on First?” is one of the best-known comedy routines of all time, and set the framework for many of their best-known comedy bits.

Norman Ward contributed to the comics of the Amalgamated Press (AP) for twenty five years, mainly for Film Fun. He was an ex-Telegraph Boy who later emmigrated to Australia, returning in 1932. His first published work was in George Newnes’ Tit-Bits and his first regular weekly spot was for Detective Weekly (AP) in 1937 drawing cartoons about prisons and prisoners.
Other titles quickly followed. In 1940 he began to draw for Film Fun. After the war (in which he served in the Royal Artillery) he returned to Film Fun to which he continued to contribute for some years. His comic depictions of
 Lou Abbott and Bud Costello are considered to be amongst his best work.

NOTE: Ward primarily drew Abbott & Costello but AP enforced a certain style that could be adapted by other artists if required.
