Battle Holiday Special

A short-lived but punchy annual special from Fleetway Publications, Battle Holiday Special (1987–1991) collected six issues of war-comic reprints and new material, primarily helmed by writers Alan Hebden and John Wagner and artists Cam Kennedy and Mike Western. It served as a seasonal, standalone companion to the long-running Battle weekly, offering readers a digest of gritty, action-packed tales without serialized commitments. Though brief, it captured the tail end of the UK's classic war-comic boom, preserving the hard-edged storytelling and kinetic artwork that defined the era.
