A shark more deadly than Jaws? – The 2000 AD Thrill-Cast
13th November 2024
We’re gonna need a bigger boat! With the third issue of Battle Action out now, on the latest episode of the 2000 AD Thrill-Cast Molch-R talks to writer Steve White and artist John McCrea about their one-shot story featuring the infamous shark from the pages of Action.
Hook Jaw is the murderous great white shark, created by Pat Mills and Geoff Kemp, that debuted in Action in 1976. A ‘dead crib’ of the movie Jaws but with a hook lodged in its lower jaw, Hook Jaw is the scourge of the seas – a comic strip so violent, with frequent dismemberments and maulings, that it helped bring down the censors on Action.
The latest issue of Battle Action sees White and McCrea join Garth Ennis and Keith Burns in another issue packed with thrilling action! Get it from your local comic shop or check out the details here.
