ACTION!
preciso muito disso! \ i need this, a lot!
Saturday, October 23 1976 must have seemed a pretty ordinary day when it began. A bit cloudy, not too bad, but like any Saturday it meant, for thousands of kids, heading for the local newsagents to buy their copy of the world’s newest and greatest comic - Action, But when they got there, October 23 was definitely no longer just an ordinary day. There was no Action -and didn’t the newsagent look pleased about it? Action, a piece of magic in the kids’ lives and a real piece of grit in the eye of loads of adults and people in authority, had been withdrawn “for editorial reconsideration”. Through the streets of Brixton (truly - several people have recalled this) and no doubt through many other places, rang the cry: “They’ve taken away our comic!” Action, the most important comic for a generation, the one comic in thirty years to win a genuine loyalty from its readers, had gone in for a terminal operation. It wasn’t terminal when it went in, but it certainly was when it came out.
