Big Comic Book

A short-lived but ambitious IPC anthology series, Big Comic Book ran for eight issues from 1986 to 1993, attempting to capture the energy of the American direct market for a British audience. It featured a rotating roster of creators and stories, aiming for a slick, mature-readers tone distinct from the publisher's more traditional weekly comics. Though its run was brief, the series stands as a notable experiment in IPC's late-era push toward a more international comics market.
