Assessment
With references this could be a b-class article. I've rated it as mid because of its role in British culture. Questions were raised in the House of Commons regarding the subject nature of the comic, which led to a revising of the tone. Hiding Talk 22:13, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

I'm curious as to how Action was launched as a competitor to Warlord when:

a) Battle was already in circulation b) Action was not a WW2 comic, unlike Battle.

Fair use rationale for Image:Action1.jpg
Image:Action1.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Environmental
Did "Hook Jaw" really have an "environmental" edge? Such things, I would guess, were not really on the radar in the mid-1970s, this interpretation only really being possible via late 2000s 20/20 hindsight. 217.155.20.163 (talk) 01:02, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Environmental issues where indeed on the radar in the mid 70's. Some say it was a leftover topic from the flower power mother earth thing from the 60's, others would argue ancient religions who worshiped the earth where the first true environmentalists. I have read the strip in question and would indeed say there are environmental issues contained within. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.230.14.186 (talk) 03:33, 14 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Global warming wasn't "on the radar" but concerns over dumping chemicals / radioactive waste in the sea etc were. 131.111.53.213 (talk) 13:01, 29 September 2011 (UTC)
