"Kids Rule O.K." is a British comic science fiction adventure story published in the weekly anthology Action from 11 September to 16 October 1976 by IPC Magazines.
The strip concerns a near-future environmental disaster which kills off 90 percent of the world's adult population, leaving Britain under the control of roaming gangs of teenagers. "Kids Rule O.K." was published at the height of the British tabloid press-led moral panic over the contents of Action, and further stoked the outcry. As a result, the comic was suspended from publication after 16 October 1976, with just seven episodes of "Kids Rule O.K." published. When the sanitised Action returned to publication in December 1976 the strip was not continued.
