About the series
Published annually from 1971 to 1980 by IPC, the Scorcher Holiday Special was a seasonal one-shot collection that brought together the high-octane sports and adventure strips from the weekly Scorcher comic. Featuring a rotating roster of IPC's top football and athletics artists, these 11 issues served as a summer treat for fans, bundling reprints and new material into a single oversized package. It remains a fondly remembered snapshot of British comics' golden age of sports storytelling.
