Combat Picture Library
GM Smith · 1959–1960 · 52 issues
About the series
A stark, painted series of 52 issues from the 1959–1960 era, Combat Picture Library brought the grit of war to British newsagents through GM Smith. Its monochrome painted covers and interiors offered no-nonsense, self-contained tales of soldiers and conflict, stripped of superheroics. It stands as a raw, period-specific artifact of the war comic genre, its visual style a distinctive departure from the line art of its contemporaries.
