British Update: Long Hot Summer – Onward Into Battle! First Two Battle Summer Specials from 1975 and 1976
*Boys’ Adventure & War Comics: Ah, Summertime! What better way to celebrate than with stories of bloody warfare? Home of D-Day Dawson, Johnny Red, Charley’s War, Major Eazy and a host of other acclaimed strips, Battle weekly reinvented the war genre for the British comic medium, and caught on so fast it won its own series of extra-length Specials in its first year of publication, 1975. We are chuffed to have that debut special, and its sequel from the following year, newly in stock in high grades, from a newsagent’s uncirculated stock, so never read, though very minor wear may have occurred owing to long-term storage. Battle Picture Weekly Summer Special 1975 (to give it its full title) is FN/VF £40, and its 1976 successor is VF £40. SORRY, THESE HAVE NOW SOLD
