Crisis (comic)
Crisis was a British comic book first published in 1988 as an experiment by IPC magazines PLC to see if intelligent, mature, politically and socially aware comics were saleable in the United Kingdom. Ultimately it didn't sell sufficiently well to survive and IPC cancelled it in 1991. Nevertheless, while it lasted, Crisis broke the mould of British comics by publishing stories which tackled urban struggles, political issues, economic inequality, sexual politics, racial and nationalistic disputes, and cutting-edge speculative writing.
Crisis featured the work of Pat Mills, Carlos Ezquerra, John Smith, Jim Baikie, Sean Phillips, Simon Bisley, Glenn Fabry, Alan Mitchell, Malachey Coney, John Hicklenton, Garth Ennis, John McCrea, Brendan McCarthy, Warren Pleece, Philip Bond, Si Spencer, Steve Sampson, Chris Stadley, Peter Doherty, Igor Goldkind, Tony Allen, Dave Hine, James Dale Robinson, Tony Slamons, Federico Fellini, Milo Manara, Grant Morrison, Oscar Zarate, Paul Neary, Steve Parkhouse,
