Sgt Mike Battle
Sgt. Mike Battle is a fictional British small press comics action hero published by Pier-C Comics who currently appears in the bi-annual anthology title Sgt Mike Battle: The Greatest American Hero!
Created by Graham Pearce in 2000, Battle first appeared in Sgt. Mike Battle: Nazi Stomper!, a 6-page comic strip that inaccurately retells World War II in 6 pages starting at D-Day and ending with Adolf Hitler's death in Berlin. Initially inspired by Hollywood's obsession with rewriting history in films like U-571, Pearce continued this theme with several sequel strips. The first five strips were collected into Sgt Mike Battle: The Greatest American Hero! #1 in August 2001. Since then he has continued to write, draw, letter and publish many more adventures of Sgt Mike Battle and recently released SMB:GAH #11 in May 2008.
