29th July 2020
The most popular British war comic of all time is back in time to commemorate the anniversary of the Battle of Britain!
Running from 1975 to 1988, Battle wasn’t just a war comic – it was the vanguard of a comics revolution! Created by Pat Mills and John Wagner, it featured an array of tough, no-nonsense characters and was the home of acclaimed strips such as Charley’s War, Johnny Red, HMS Nightshade, Fighting Mann, Darkie’s Mob, and many more!
The new Battle special, marking 80 years since the Battle of Britain, is out on 16th September with all-new stories from some of the best talent in comics, including Garth Ennis, Alex De Campi, Dan Abnett and many more!
Alongside the standard newsstand edition, a special edition – available exclusively from the Treasury of British Comics and 2000 AD webshops – comes with a wraparound cover by acclaimed aviation artist Keith Burns!
