Comments: Tornado carried a mix of non-science fiction adventure strips alongside humour and a single sci-fi story. From the very first issue it was tied to 2000 A.D., as fictional editor Big E informed readers he had been a normal Earth man until 2000 A.D.'s Tharg trained him. After 22 issues it merged with 2000 A.D., with three strips making the jump: The humour strip Captain Klep, the psi-power drama of The Mind of Wolfie Smith, and Blackhawk, which was majorly overhauled to change an historic adventure series into a science fiction one. None of the series survived in the long run.
