Warning! This is not a news.

AXA is the title of a newspaper comic strip featuring an eponymous lead character, which was published in British daily tabloid The Sun from 1978 to 1986. It was written by Donne Avenell and drawn by Romero.

Opening on a post-apocalyptic Earth in the year 2070, Axa is a woman who, having grown sick of the regimented and stifling society inside a domed city, flees into the untamed wilderness. The strip mixed elements of science fiction and sword-swinging barbarian tales (the lead character herself bears more than a casual similarity to Red Sonja). However, it is arguable that the strip's main draw were the frequent depictions of the gorgeous and full-figured Axa's tendency to wind up topless or fully nude, as rendered by the skilled pin-up artist Romero. This tendency was set as early as the series' third installment in which, in a denuding act of defiance, Axa violently tears off her jumpsuit to show her rejection of the domed city's ways. She immediately went on to replace her attire with a reliably flimsy rag bikini, which would become the character's signature outfit throughout the remainder of the series.
