Revolution Comics
- Formed: October 1995
- Dissolved: May 1997
John A Short's The Legend Of Octobriana four-page comic strip
was originally a proposal for the now defunct Deadline magazine,
but eventually formed the basis for Revolution Comics' award-winning,
critically-acclaimed Octobriana limited-series.
Short, together with Stuart Taylor, created a six-issue series
that featured two different Octobriana comic strips -- one set
in the 1960s and one set in the modern-day -- which was published
between August 1996 and May 1997. Written with tongues firmly
in cheek, Short and Taylor's rendition of Octobriana soon became
a cult favourite, with the series also winning Best New British
Comic at the 1997 UK National Comics Awards.
Taylor followed up the original Revolution Octobriana series with
a two part limited-series, Filling In The Blanks, which took the concepts from the Revolution series to the next
level. Short formed Alchemy Texts which currently publishes his Armageddon Patrol comic book.
