Playhour Holiday Special
IPC · 1969–1981 · 14 issues
About the series
A beloved British holiday tradition from IPC, the Playhour Holiday Special ran for 14 issues between 1969 and 1981, offering young readers a festive mix of stories, puzzles, and activities. Featuring a rotating cast of characters from the publisher's popular Playhour comic, each special was a cheerful, self-contained treat designed for seasonal enjoyment. While no single creator dominated its run, the specials collectively represent the warm, child-friendly ethos of IPC's golden age of children's comics.
