Polystyle Holiday Special

Polystyle Holiday Special is an invented name for three 1970s releases by Polystyle Publications, Ltd. The invention is necessary because the three editions weren't really a part of any ongoing publication — despite the 1977 issue's cover claim of some sort of connection to TV Comic. Even though "Polystyle Holiday Special" doesn't quite appear on any cover, or in any indicia, it serves to clearly distinguish between these publications and certain special issues of Doctor Who Magazine.

Often confused as annuals for the Polystyle magazines, TV Comic or TV Action, the specials were actually all standalone publications, and weren't actually part of any series. For convenience, however, they are grouped together here under a name which clearly distinguishes them.

Publication details
Published at different parts of the year — in the nonconsecutive years of 1973, 1974 and 1977 — the Polystyle specials were highly anomalous.
