Savage: Difference between revisions

One of ''[[Two Thousand AD (Comic Book)|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''.

 

** 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.

* [[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

* [[A Nazi By Any Other Name]]: The Volgans

* [[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.
