Eighty years after the ‘darkest hour’ of the Battle of Britain, two lost stories by legendary artist Ian Kennedy from the heyday of British comics are being reprinted in a gorgeous new collection.

Available in paperback and digital edition, there are also 100 copies of a limited edition hardback available exclusively from the Treasury of British Comics webshop.

Set against the backdrop of the Battle of Britain, this enthralling collection of aviation and heroism features daredevil pilots and the lengths they go to stop the Luftwaffe’s attacks on Britain.

Never Say Die features a talented pilot who never loses his determination, forced to defend his country against immense obstacles both technical and personal, while Steel Bats follows a squadron undertaking heart-stopping missions to combat the intense night-time assaults of the Axis air force.

This is the second in the Treasury of British Comics’ new War Picture Library series, showcasing some of the finest combat comics from the 1950s and ’60s, and illustrated by legendary and iconic artists.
