About the series
The Scorcher Annual was a yearly hardcover companion to IPC’s football-themed weekly, collecting strips and features from 1971 to 1984 across 14 editions. Known for its gritty, dramatic football stories, the annual showcased the work of key British comic artists of the era, including Tom Kerr and Mike White. It remains a fondly remembered snapshot of 1970s and early 1980s British boys’ comics, offering a more permanent home for the pulse-pounding pitch action of its weekly parent.
