About this deal

When Mason and Sharkie reported the find to Doctor Gelder, Gelder was unconvinced, stating that the entire island was surrounded by a protective reef that would prevent anything larger than a sardine from swimming through. Unknown to anyone, the island lagoon had been intruded by Hook Jaw during the high tide at the full moon. Now in the midst of hundreds of tourists, Hook Jaw's bloodbath continued. a b Witten, P.E.; Hall, B.K. (2002).

Hook Jaw - Wikipedia

The kype functions as a secondary sexual characteristic and influences the formation of dominance hierarchies at the spawning grounds. The size of the kype is believed to determine male spawning frequency. With the attention not going away, the BBC arranged for Sanders to be interviewed live on their popular prime time magazine show Nationwide. At the time the programme's main studio anchor was Frank Bough, who was - before his private life was revealed by the press to involve wearing lingerie for cocaine-fuelled orgies with prostitutes - one of the most trusted faces on television. Sanders was given a list of questions he would be asked, which Brough promptly ignored in favour of excoriating his guest for warping children. A blindsided Sanders attempted to rally, but after the broadcast the IPC board intervened and after the 16 October 1976 issue Action was pulled from circulation. [3] [8] Sanders reportedly only found out about the withdrawal by reading about it in newspapers when on holiday in Spain. [9] Almost immediately Action's violence began to attract attention from the press. On 23 February 1976, The London Evening Standard ran an article on the comic, criticising its bloodletting. More sustained criticism came from The Sun, which dissected Action on 30 April 1976. As author Martin Baker has noted, the article itself was relatively balanced but the headline - "The Sevenpenny Nightmare", in reference to the notorious Victorian penny dreadfuls - set the tone for a campaign against the title's immorality. [3] However, the excellent sales led to the creative staff being egged on in some cases. [2]

Inside Action: Hook Jaw – downthetubes.net

In 2017, Rebellion licensed the rights to "Hook Jaw" to Titan Comics, who produced a five-part mini-series written by Simon Spurrier and drawn by Conor Boyle. Spurrier was a fan of the original strip, noting "it was disguised as something rather lowbrow... but it concealed some very smart and subversive twists". The Titan series rebooted the story and was set in the present day, with an oceanographer Mag as the sympathetic lead human protagonist. Titan also published a collected edition of the Action strips to tie in with the series. [15] [16] This one was different but interesting. This series was published in the UK in 1976 and was deemed so violent it was eventually banned and canceled. Too much action: how kids' comic Action drowned in its own ultraviolence" by David Burnett, The Guardian, 21 October 2016 Though obscure, Action played an important role in the development of British Comics; it was the first multi-themed "boy's stories" comic (prior to Action, all "boy's stories" comics would focus on one theme - war or sports, for example), and it proved that there was a market for boy's adventure stories outside of the classical moulds. IPC and Pat Mills would go on to create the successful 2000 AD comics. Many of the early 2000 AD stories have a very strong resemblance to the moods and attitudes of Action stories, and the stories Flesh and Shako in particular have a strong resemblance to Hook Jaw.The diagram below shows how the hook and bar are normally positioned for a waistband that has an extended tab such as on the Dior Homme trousers above. The diagram also shows the position of the small internal button, sometimes called a jigger button, that helps to take some of the strain off the hook and bar closure. This internal button must be placed accurately so that the hook and bar can sit closed correctly. If the jigger button is not taking the strain of the waistband, then the hook and bar closure will look as though it is pulling open. Doug Church worked as art director on the comic, as he had done on Battle. [2] The plan was originally to name the new comic 'Boots' or 'Dr. Martens' (in honour of the tough kid's footwear of choice) but instead Mills chose 'Action'. He initially wanted to call it Action 76 and change the number incrementally to emphasise the comic's up to date nature, but this went down poorly with newsagents and the idea was dropped. [3] Publishing history [ edit ] The cover to the first issue of Action, cover-dated 14 February 1976 McNally's first direct attempt to kill Hook Jaw proved to him that the shark was more intelligent than the average fish. He commissioned the help of a professional shark hunter, who very nearly succeeded in killing Hook Jaw. In the end, it was his own greed and desire to kill that ended his life at the maw of Hook Jaw. Mason escaped the destruction of the rig and finds himself working for the exploitative Doctor Gelder, who is trying to turn the island of El Salvados in the Gulf of Mexico into a resort called Paradise Island, with little respect for the natives or the marine life. Hook Jaw soon arrives and begins to disrupt Gelder's plans, leading to the developer putting a bounty on the shark. The bounty hunters take heavy casualties and rapidly become more extreme, culminating in explosives opening up a volcanic rift under the island. In the chaos Mason is killed by Hook Jaw, and his furious native friend Sharkie kills Gelder in revenge as El Salvados is evacuated. Hook Jaw, finding the seas around the island polluted, moves on again. [20] New Battle Action Series Featuring Garth Ennis and More Announced by Rebellion (Exclusive)". Comics.

As the series synopsis indicates, this creative team are pushing this new iteration into completely uncharted water: In 2016, Titan Comics announced an all-new, updated version of Hook Jaw written by Si Spurrier and drawn by Conor Boyle Main Characters Action was a short lived British comicbook serial published in 1976 and 1977 by IPC. Created by Pat Mills, it earned much attention for its focus on fairly Grimdark, gritty, gorily violent stories, many of which were "dead cribs" (ideas derived by ripping off from currently-popular films, books and other comics) intended to appeal to the growing punk culture and the increasingly disenfranchised youth of Britain. Its stories had much the air of a Darker and Edgier take on classic Pulp novels, while detractors likened it to the penny dreadfuls of the Victorian era. Kacem, A.; Baglinière, J.L.; Meunier, F.J.
