Achilles the Avenger

Bursting onto the Bronze Age British comics scene in 1978, Achilles the Avenger made their debut in the pages of Battle Action — one of IPC's most celebrated war anthology titles — brought to life by the formidable creative pairing of writer Tom Tully and artist Joe Colquhoun. With only eight catalogued appearances, this is a rare and intriguing figure, the kind of discovery that makes flipping through old Battle Action issues such a rewarding hunt. The company alone is electrifying: sharing those ink-stained pages with fan favourites like Major Eazy, Johnny 'Red' Redburn, and Dredger tells you everything about the fierce, action-packed world this character inhabited. A genuine slice of IPC's golden era of British war comics, Achilles the Avenger is exactly the sort of hidden gem that reminds collectors why the Bronze Age deserves such devoted attention.
