Line 2:
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.
One of ''[[2000 AD|Two Thousand AD]]'''s debut titles in 1977 under the name of ''Invasion!'' and written by then editor Pat Mills the original story lasted 44 issues before being discontinued. However in 2004 the story was resurrected by Mills and recalled ''[[Savage]]''.

* [[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.
Line 14 ⟶ 15:
** 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.
* [[Canon
** 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!''
