On the occasion of Shaky Kane’s birthday, (which is today, fact fans) let’s take a look at his Mytek the Mighty story from the 2000AD Action Special.  Written by Si Spencer, it revamps the old Valiant character in stylish fashion. 

There were no more Mytek stories by Kane, largely because the 2000AD of the time discovered that they didn’t actually own the rights to publish the character, or many of the the other characters from the the 2000AD Action Special.
