British Update: Long Hot Summer – Battle Picture Library Holiday Specials from 1964 (1st) to 1975
*Boys’ Adventure & War Picture Libraries: One of the classic ‘Big Three’ Fleetway/IPC Picture Libraries, together with Air Ace and War, Battle PL launched in 1961 and ran for more than a thousand issues. By 1964, its popularity won it a Holiday Special – but unlike the Summer/Holiday Specials for the weekly comics, Picture Library Holiday Specials went extra-thick, maintaining their digest-sized dimensions but adding extra pages, totalling more than 220 pages of holiday reading to keep the boys (and the Dads) happy during rainy summer holidays! We have eight Battle Picture Library Holiday Specials back in stock, beginning with the very first from 1964 and ending with 1975. The 1964 edition has one diagonal cover crease, but is otherwise immaculate, and all our new additions are graded FN.
