Title: Super Scarce Collectable Comics! Battle Action 1978 Issues! 7th January 1978 to 23rd December 1978
Description: IPC. 1978, First Issue. Soft cover. Ill.: CARLOS EZQUERRA, JOE COLQUHOUN, JOHN COOPER, MIKE WESTERN & Others. Comic, Here is a scarce selection for 1978 of this collectable comic. There are 6 missing issues, being 29/7, 5/8, 12/8, 25/11, 2/12, 30/12, and one damaged issue for 18/3. The rest are V.G. "Battle Picture Weekly", also later known as "Battle Action Force", "Battle", and "Battle with Storm Force", was published from 8/3/1975 until 23/1/1988. It then merged with "Eagle". On October 23rd 1975, included here, it became "Battle Picture Weekly and Valiant", until 1/10/1977. On 12/11/77 it merged with "Action", and then became "Battle Action" until 1/8/1981 when it reverted to "Battle" until 1983. It was initially brought about to challenge the success of "Warlord". The freelance writer Pat Mills together with John Wagner collaborated with Gerry Finlay-Day to produce a rival comic that could compete. A pleasing collection of the 1978 issues, especially considering the cheap paper used! A great opportunity to buy a little piece of comic history! Many more issues available for other years. Very Good.
