About the series
From 1977 to 1981, IPC's Battle Action was a gritty, 182-issue war comic that fused the brutal realism of its predecessors with a new wave of sci-fi and supernatural twists. Driven by the storytelling of Pat Mills, John Wagner, and Tom Tully, and brought to life by artists like Joe Colquhoun, John Cooper, and Eric Bradbury, it introduced iconic characters such as the scarred soldier Johnny 'Red' Redburn, the relentless Dredger, and the time-lost Greek warrior Achilles the Avenger. The series mattered as a bold, experimental chapter in British war comics, blending traditional combat drama with imaginative, often dark, genre elements.
