Savage: Difference between revisions

In 1999 the Volgan Republic of Asia invaded Western Europe, defeating and occupying Britain in hours, leaving only resistance groups fighting for liberty. When London lorry driver Bill Savage found out his family had been killed in the invasion, he took up arms against the invaders.

 

 

* [[Alternate History]]: ''Savage'''s solution to the [[The Great Politics Mess-Up]]. Here the timeline diverged in 1989 when the Volgan Peoples Party was founded.

** Possibly even earlier, as the SLR (A British FN FAL clone) is still in service in 1999. Justified, though, as at the time ''Invasion!'' was published, the SLR was still Britain's service rifle and the SA80 had not been designed yet.

** The final arc of ''Invasion!'' involes Savage getting the (fictional) heir of the throne Prince John out of Britian after he stowed away on a british submarine

* [[Blood Knight]]: Savage.

** Quite possibly also Savage's cameo in ''Armoured Gideon''.

* [[Captain Ersatz]]: Pat Mills was forced to make the Volgans this after [[Executive Meddling]] in ''Invasion!''

* [[Mohs Scale of Science Fiction Hardness]]: Happens in-universe during ''Savage''. The series starts off firmly grounded in reality with some advanced technolgy based on things being developed in [[Real Life]]. However soon comes alone EMP bombs, Humianoid battle robots, Teleporters, and finally a particle accelerator built under central london.

* [[Monster of the Week]]: ''Invasion!'' followed this pattern with single issue stories of savage defeating the volgans in a different location with the occasional longer story.

* [[The Neutral Zone]]: Ireland, at least early on. Later, the Allied forces use Ireland as a base to launch their assault on Britain with the Hammerstein Mk 1s.

* [[Occupiers Out of Our Country!]]
