Rebellion has announced twelve new specials for 2020, including the return of some of the most influential British comics of all time, including the legendary titles Battle, Action, Smash! and Roy of the Rovers.

The specials will include a mix of old favourites, featuring new original work from creators such as Garth Ennis (The Boys, Preacher), Ram V (Catwoman), Alex de Campi (Dredd), Rob Williams (Suicide Squad), Dan Lish (Egostrip), VV Glass (Doctor Who), Danijel Žeželj (Luna Park). Here are the twelve titles:

  • November: Thriller Picture Library Special

  • December: Misty Presents… Special

“We’re really excited about our 2020 specials and to be able to put together such an impressive roster of talent has been a real privilege, with plenty more announcements still to come,” says Keith Richardson, senior editor at Rebellion Publishing. Rebellion owns the world’s biggest archive of English language comics and to say we’re spoilt for choice is an understatement – but we’ve picked out iconic titles to reinvigorate for the 21st Century, alongside some of the best new products Rebellion has to offer. We’re putting these comics back where they belong – back on the newsstand and back in front of new audiences.”
