Battle Picture Weekly and Valiant
IPC · 1976–1977 · 56 issues
About the series
From 1976 to 1977, IPC merged two of its flagship war comics into Battle Picture Weekly and Valiant, a 56-issue powerhouse that defined gritty, character-driven combat storytelling. Anchored by writers Alan Hebden, Gerry Finley-Day, and John Wagner, with visceral art from Carlos Ezquerra, Mike Western, and Eric Bradbury, the series followed hardened soldiers like Major Eazy, Johnny 'Red' Redburn, and Ian "Scarface" Rogan through unflinching battlefields. It mattered as a transitional title that fused the raw intensity of Battle with the broader adventure of Valiant, cementing a no-nonsense approach to war comics that influenced British action storytelling for years.
