Two of the greatest British comics of all time join forces- and bring you seven new stories of blazing Battle Action! Writer Garth Ennis (Preacher, The Boys) presents his own take on the classic characters of Battle and Action. Ace fighter pilot Johnny Red battles Skreamer of the Stukas on the nightmarish Russian front. Veteran leader The Sarge and his section face hell in the brutal Italian campaign. Wheeler-dealer Crazy Keller drives for his life as World War Two comes to its bloody conclusion. Lethal British agent Dredger doles out justice- of a kind- on the streets of 1980s London. All these and more in this high-octane collection of fantastic new combat strips, featuring scripts by Ennis and art by some of the biggest names in modern comics, including Kevin O' Neill (Nemesis The Warlock, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen), Chris Burnham (Batman) and John Higgins (Watchmen, Dreadnoughts). Get your front-row seats to the front line, as only the legendary Battle Action can deliver!
Garth Ennis first came to prominence as writer on Troubled Souls, the Northern Ireland-set series he created with John McCrea for Crisis. As well as scripting its sequel, For a Few Troubles More, and True Faith (created with Warren Pleece) for that title, he was also a regular contributor to 2000 AD and the Judge Dredd Megazine, writing Judge Dredd, Strontium Dogs, The Corps, Time Flies, Chopper, and Sleeze ' n' Ryder. Outside of the Galaxy' s Greatest Comic, his well-received run on Hellblazer was followed by Preacher, the hugely successful DC Vertigo series he created with Steve Dillon, as well as titles such as Hitman, Goddess, Bloody Mary, The Boys and a lengthy run on The Punisher. Kevin O' Neill is a 2000 AD legend. From working as an art assistant on the very first prog, he quickly became involved in the creative side of the comic, co-creating classics like A. B. C. Warriors, Bonjo From Beyond The Stars, Metalzoic and Nemesis the Warlock. O' Neill has also written for the comic on strips including Dash Decent, Future Shocks, Tharg the Mighty, and has illustrated Judge Dredd, M. A. C. H. 0, Ro-Busters, Ro-Jaws' Robo-Tales, Tharg the Mighty and Torquemada. Outside the Galaxy' s Greatest Comic, O' Neill was briefly notorious as the only artist ever to have his work rejected wholesale by the Comics Code Authority! Happily, his notoriety quickly became fame and acclaim, as his work on strips like Marshal Law and most recently The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen have raised him to a very high profile. O' Neill' s other work includes Green Lantern and Batman.
