American Update: The Atlas Explosion! Battlefield: Complete run of Pre-Code War Series
*War: Launched in 1952, Atlas’ Battlefield’s short run of 11 issues made quite an impact on the readership, with unusual levels of violence and casual racism even by the propaganda-frenzied standards of the time; Pakula, Heath, Maneely, Everett and Colan all contributed, with several memorable and action-packed covers by Heath. A casualty of the advent of the Comics Code Authority, Battlefield was one of many titles which the publishers decided to cancel rather than attempt to rein it in to meet Code standards. We have the complete 11-issue run d (albeit the #6 is incomplete and enclosed as a free bonus with #5). Our illustration is issue #5 FN+ £56, with the rest in a variety of affordable grades – see our catalogue listing for details.
