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.

 

 

** 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.

** Might be even ealier, Vashkov's [[Motive Rant]] centers around Bomber Harris using poison gas on the order of [[Winston Churchill]] during the allied intervention in the Russian Civil War.

** 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!''

** In book 7 it comes obvious that Scooty was suppost to be [[Tony Blair]]

* [[Character Development]]: Savage goes from little characterization (Barely any backstory and sterotypical working class attitude) in ''Invasion!'' to having a much more detailed backstory along with a wider family and more justification for his contining struggle in ''Savage''.

* [[Darker and Edgier]]: ''Savage'' compared to ''invasion''

* [[Day of the Jackboot]]

* [[Hufflepuff House]]: The entirety of mainland Europe. Apart from one cross-channel hop in ''Invasion!'' and savage being part of the ''Free European Army'' (FEAR) in ''Savage'', the struggle in Europe is not mentioned.

* [[Les Collaborateurs]]: Called Double Yellows

* [[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.

* [[The Quisling]]: Scooty, the puppet Prime Minister in ''Savage''

* [[Television Geography]]: An example occurs in ''Savage''. After Savage and a group of resistance fighters have formed blockade on Oxford Street, a truck comes to take them to the Centre Point building. However Centre Point is on nearby New Oxford Street. They should bearly have to walk five minutes to get to it.
