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.
