Attack Picture Library Holiday Special

The Attack Picture Library Holiday Special was a short-lived, four-issue annual published by IPC from 1982 to 1984, offering a painted, oversized dose of war comics action for the holiday season. Each issue collected reprints of classic war stories from the British Attack library, presented in a glossy, full-color format that gave the gritty combat tales a more polished, cinematic feel. While no single artist is credited across the entire run, the series stands as a distinctive, seasonal artifact of IPC’s war comics legacy, showcasing the publisher’s commitment to delivering intense, all-ages battle sagas in a special package.
