Action Summer Special
IPC · 1976–1978 · 3 issues
About the series
A short-lived but memorable annual from IPC, Action Summer Special ran for just three issues between 1976 and 1978. These oversized, all-reprint collections gathered the most explosive strips from the weekly Action comic, offering a perfect summer hit of the title's famously gritty, controversial action stories. Though the weekly was soon cancelled amid a moral panic, these specials preserve the raw energy and boundary-pushing spirit that defined the era.
