Here is a scarce and complete collection for all 52 issues for 1981 of this sought after comic. "Battle Picture Weekly", also later known as "Battle Action Force", "Battle", and "Battle with Storm Force", was published from 8/3/1975 until 23/1/1988. It then merged with "Eagle". On October 23rd 1975 it became "Battle Picture Weekly and Valiant", until 1/10/1977. On 12/11/77 it merged with "Action", and then became "Battle Action" until August 1st 1981,then reverted to"Battle" until 1983. It was initially brought about to challenge the success of "Warlord". The freelance writer Pat Mills together with John Wagner collaborated with Gerry Finlay-Day to produce a rival comic that could compete. A pleasing and complete collection of the 1981 issues. Great condition considering the cheap paper used! A great opportunity to buy a little piece of comic history! Many more issues available for other years. Seller Inventory # 023895
