(W) Steve MacManus
In 1973, twenty-year-old Steve MacManus joined Fleetway Publications in London as a sub-editor on one of the UK's top adventure titles,
Valiant. Within six years, he would rise to become editor of the company's most celebrated weekly,
2000 AD, shepherding it through its "Golden Age" as he commissioned numerous hit series such as
The Ballad of Halo Jones,
Sláine,
Bad Company,
Rogue Trooper,
Nemesis the Warlock, and more, ensuring its place as the most influential comic Britain has ever produced. In this warm and witty memoir, MacManus lifts the lid on the fiercely creative environment that was British comics in the 1970s and '80s - from the hugely successful launch of
Battle to the controversial censorship of
Action, from the brief life of
Starlord to the stellar rise of
2000 AD and
Judge Dredd.
