About the series
From 1980 to 1986, IPC’s Jackpot Annual delivered seven oversized collections of high-energy, all-ages adventure and comedy strips, serving as a yearly showcase for the publisher’s most popular characters. The annuals gathered material from the weekly Jackpot comic, featuring the work of top British talents like writer Tom Tully and artist Mike Lacey, whose dynamic storytelling defined the title’s playful, fast-paced tone. Though short-lived, the series remains a fondly remembered snapshot of IPC’s early-80s output, offering a dense, colorful package of serialized fun for young readers.
