Vector 13
''Vector 13'' is a comic strip published in the British magazine '' 2000 AD''. It featured the eponymous agency set up to investigate anomalous phenomena and conspiracy theories. It was influenced by American TV drama ''The X-Files'' (which was at the height of its popularity at the time) and other events such as the 1995 release of the alien autopsy film; as the general interest in the paranormal and parapolitics waned, the series was wound up and replaced by ''Pulp Sci-Fi'' as a venue for single issue self-contained stories.
