I’ll be back on Iconoblast in August after a short summer break, with weekly instalments of AAAGH! The Secret History of Action, to celebrate the comic’s 50th Anniversary in 2026. You can look forward to my customary no-holds barred recollections of how Action was conceived, its heady success, and the moral panic it caused, leading to its untimely cancellation.
In the meantime, check out my other Secret Histories: Be Pure! Be Vigilant! Behave! 200AD & Judge Dredd; Kiss My Axe! Slaine the Warped Warrior; The Secret History of Marshal Law (on Iconoblast); The Secret History of Requiem Vampire Knight (on Iconoblast)
I’ve just written the introduction to Volume 1 of Action – Before The Ban, to be published by Rebellion in time for the 50th Anniversary in February 2026. Vol. 1 features the first twelve issues of Action, which I think is a great way to showcase the comic.
