After a short hiatus while the legal position was being worked out, Action re-appeared in a somewhat toned-down format. There was an excellent book called Action - The Story of a Violent Comic by Martin Baker published in 1990. Well worth a read.

Also, look out for the a preview of 2000AD in the issue dated 19th Feb 1977 - your first ever look at Judge Dredd! These 2000AD previews are fast becoming very sought after. Noted dealer and collector Paul Baddeley has been on the case with these Previews and adds the following insight:

"The 2000AD Preview appears in Battle, Action and best of all in Buster as a 4 page centre pullout! The other two are internal pages that cannot be removed as a pullout. It would also follow that this Preview is also in Whoopee as there is a pullout for Action #1 in Whoopee 7.2.76 but I cannot substantiate this until I find one. I sold an NM Battle 2000 AD Preview to a US customer for £129 and have sold a few more in the £30-£75 range directly. I have been amazed not to see any other copies being sold since selling mine. I think only 3 have been sold on in 3 years".
