A LITTLE HISTORY.

Younger fans often ask about the origins of female combat in recent history and the background to the U.K.s one time leading combat magazine Amazons in Action.The fore runner to A.I.A.was Womens Wresting which created the original interest which Swish Publications expanded on.Take note of the price 75p!!!!

Swiftly following came Claws and Fighting Girl Monthly both of which tended to appeal to the fantasy end of the market and to describe any of these as a monthly was taking poetic licence to the limit as fans outside of London in particular could spend many months searching for a copy.

Around the same time appeared Wild Cats,in it's original format a small almost notebook size publication which in it's original form was quite informative,but in later editions tended to go down the realms of fantasy till some time in 1982 it left the scene with no prior warning.
