Tornado was a weekly title launched in 1979. There was less emphasis on Science Fiction series and when it was merged with 2000 AD a year later only one story Black Hawk made the transfer, though other stories Wolfie Smith and Captain Klep later made appearances in 2000 AD, largely due to IPC editorial policies against 'wasting' stories that had already been paid for.

Crisis was a sister publication that didn't follow the format of 2000 AD, but did share many editorial staff and creative teams. Early issues featured two SF-themed stories aimed at a slightly older age group than 2000 AD and soon became a magnet for British creators who wanted to create comics for the adult market.
