Vector 13
Vector 13 is a 2000 AD comic strip which featured the eponymous agency setup to investigate anomalous phenomena and conspiracy theories. It was influenced by The X-Files (which was at the height of its popularity at the time) and other events like the 1995 release of the alien autopsy film. However, as it was so much "of its time" as the general interest in the paranormal and parapolitics waned the series had rather run it' course and as wound up and the series Pulp Sci-Fi was created as a new venue for single issue self-contained stories. In turn it foreshadowed other agencies like Caballistics, Inc. and B.P.R.D..
It is notable not just for the number of (usually single issue) installments produced in such a short space of time but for the wide mix of the best of the comic's talent of that period. It really acted to bring together the various tales from Tharg's Future Shocks, Terror Tales and Beyond Science under one "umbrella" plot. The format was created by former 2000 AD editor and long-time contributor, Alan McKenzie.
