The most important thing about Action was what lay beneath those attention grabbing covers. Every week there were seven or eight rollicking stories, a cartoon strip, some daredevil stunts, free money, sports guides, profiles, letters, a clever dick answering your questions and, as they say, much much more. Below is the sort of thing that seven new pence would buy you in 1976, if you spent it on the sensational new paper for boys. Every story is listed, with information on who the creators were, the story start and finish dates, number of episodes, major characters, an outline of the plot and, most importantly, a full pre-ban run of the strip. There is also some info on the other pages of Action, including the regular features like Twit of the Week, Money Man, Knowall, Action Man and Action Mouse. There's also a list of the regular contributing staff, where known.
