Launched on 7 February 1976 by DC Thomson, Bullet was their attempt to produce a tougher, more hard-hitting comic to appeal to older boys. Priced at 7p, it focused on action and adventure, revenge and sci-fi and – those old staples – war and sport.
Bullet was absorbed into Warlord in December 1978.
