Attack! Books Explained

ATTACK! Books was an avant-pulp imprint of Creation Books^[1] founded in 1999.^[2] Partly a homage to the raw pulp writing of Richard Allen and the world of British action comics, part surrealism and part ultraviolence, the titles were overseen by former NME journalist Steven Wells.

Titles included:

• Get Your Cock Out - Mark Manning
• Raiders Of The Low Forehead - Stanley Manly
• Satan! Satan! Satan! - Tony White
• Tits-Out Teenage Terror Totty - Steven Wells
• Vatican Bloodbath - Tommy Udo
• Whips & Furs: My Life as a bon-vivant, gambler & love rat by Jesus H. Christ - Stewart Home

ATTACK! was noted for its oppositionist stance towards commercially successful authors of the day, especially Will Self.

The imprint folded in 2002 due to lack of funds.
