PS ARTBOOKS WARFRONT VOL. 1 (SLIPCASE EDITION)

Warfront Volume 1 collects the first five hard-hitting issues of Harvey Comics' acclaimed war anthology, originally published between September 1951 and April 1952. Created during the height of the Korean War, these gripping stories capture the courage, sacrifice, and brutal realities of combat across battlefields spanning World War II and contemporary conflicts. Filled with action-packed tales of soldiers, pilots, sailors, and frontline heroes, Warfront combines dramatic storytelling with striking artwork from some of the era's finest comic artists. From desperate last stands and daring rescue missions to intense aerial dogfights and perilous ground assaults, every issue delivers the excitement and emotion that made Golden Age war comics a lasting favourite. Beautifully restored by PS Artbooks, this hardcover edition preserves all five classic issues in their original full-colour glory, offering an essential collection for fans of vintage war comics and Harvey's rich publishing legacy.

Standard and Primary covers are widely available through general retailers. They often have higher print runs and can be cheaper, especially during sales.

In contrast, Direct Market (DM) and variant covers are primarily sold in comic shops. DM editions tend to have more limited availability and may be more valuable to collectors.
