⚠️ A TOXiC TALE!!..

Toxic! was a full colour weekly comic published by Apocalypse Ltd from the 28th March 1991 to 24th October 1991. - 31 Issues - It was founded by leading 2000 AD creators Pat Mills, Kevin O'Neill, Mike McMahon, John Wagner and Alan Grant as a creator owned and controlled outlet for their work. Subtitled "The comic throws up", it was a reaction against worthy, adult-oriented comics like Crisis, and had an anarchic, violent tone.

Wagner and Grant contributed two Bogie Man serials with artists Cam Kennedy and Robin Smith, and Grant wrote religious vigilante strip "Makabre", drawn by Enrique Alcatena, but Wagner was frozen out, the tone of his work being out of step with his colleagues. Two of his proposals, contemporary thriller "Button Man" and male pregnancy/gangster comedy "Al's Baby", ended up as creator-owned strips in 2000 AD and the Judge Dredd Megazine respectively.

The creator-owned ideal backfired when Apocalypse failed to pay creators. McMahon quit, leaving "Muto-Maniac" unfinished, and other strips were withheld by disgrunted writers and artists, and had to be replaced by filler material from Apocalypse's sister company Trident Comics. The comic folded after seven months, and Apocalypse went bankrupt soon after. One lasting effect it had was to prompt 2000 AD to go full colour.
