Charley's War (Vol. 6): Underground and Over the Top

Description

Renowned UK comics writer Pat Mills (Marshal Law, Slaine) and legendary artist Joe Colquhoun (Johnny Red) continue the thrilling, humorous and horrifying story of World War One soldier Charley Bourne. Charley's unit, under the brutal and thoughtless command of the vile Snell, are detailed to join the 'clay-kickers' in a dangerous plan to mine under the German lines... and then comes Charley's first, terrifying charge "over the top"! Rich in the detailed minutiae of the terror-punctuated existence of a Tommy, this sixth volume of Charley's War features a brand new introduction and director's commentary by Pat Mills, plus exclusive bonus content.

Pat Mills has written countless comics stories, including 2000 AD's Judge Dredd, Slaine and A.B.C. Warriors, as well as Charley's War. He also created Marshal Law. Joe Colquhoun worked on a large volume of titles in his 30 year career in the UK comics industry, including Lion, Champion, Buster and Battle. He is probably best remembered for his work on Battle, including Johnny Red and Charley's War.

"Timelessly relevant and well researched, this is a comics classic."- PW "Darkly spectacular...poignant and intelligently anti-war" - LA Times "Charley's War is one of the finest, most fondly remembered comic strips ever, a deeply radical, horrific reimagining of WWI." - Uncut"
