Synopsis

Acclaimed author Pat Mills (Marshal Law, Sláine) and legendary artist Joe Colquhoun (Johnny Red) continue the thrilling, horrifying tale of soldier Charley Bourne.

Charley’s squad is detailed to assist the ‘clay kickers’ mining underneath the German lines, with terrible consequences — and Charley is forced into a final showdown with the vile Lieutenant Snell, before going over the top for one of the most horrendous battles of World War One: the third battle of Ypres, also called Passchendaele.

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.

Review:

"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"
