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 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.
In turn it foreshadowed other comics series dedicated to similar agencies, such as Caballistics, Inc.
The format was created by former 2000 AD editor and long-time contributor Alan McKenzie.
Each story was presented by the Men in Black, as being a true file from their cases touching on a whole range of Forteana from Mothman to the Chupacabras and broader conspiracy theories such as those surrounding Project MKULTRA.
