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. Home from the war thanks to an injury, Charley escapes from a terrifying air-raid, only to run into a deserter from the Foreign Legion - who tells him of the awful siege of Fort Vaux, even as both men run for their lives from the Military Police! Rich in the detailed minutiae of the terror-punctuated existence of a Tommy, this fourth volume of Charley's War features a brand new introduction by Tariq Goddard and director's commentary by Pat Mills, plus exclusive bonus content.

Review
"Timelessly relevant and well researched, this is a comics classic."- PW "Charley's War is one of the finest, most fondly remembered comic strips ever, a deeply radical, horrific reimagining of WWI." - Uncut"

Another marvellous volume of Charley's War, recounting the story of a deserter from the French Foreign Legion, whom Charley meets whilst on leave.
This is a superbly written story & had me riveted from start to finish. Excellent art work as ever but the writing in this volume really is of the highest standard.
I got this for Christmas & reading this on Christmas night, with a bottle of beer & turkey sandwich in hand, I was engrossed - absolutely cracking in every way.

When I was a kid I was raised on war stories from my Grandad and he used to say how dirty and unglorious war really is and I used to think why don't the books I read show this eg Commando and Warlord. Then I found Battle and I couldn't believe how graphic it was. I loved the artwork and I used to read it over and over again but when it changed to Battle Action Force it went down the pan in my opinion.
These reprinted stories in book form have taken me back down memory lane and as an adult I appreciate them from a different perspective. The stories are great and although I think the left wing politics are a bit over egged I love the fact that Charley is just an ordinary bloke getting on with it.
A must have for anybody who read battle and I think all Schools should have a copy of these.
Excellent.

Whether you like comics or not, these books are a joy (yet sad at the same time) and full of interesting facts seen from the soldiers point of view. If you only ever buy one comic series in your life then buy these, you will not be disappointed!

More Classic British Comics But Please Shut Up, Pat Mills!
Charley's War is certainly a classic British comic strip and has lots to recommend it. Unfortunately the downside to these lavish reprints comes with Pat Mill's commentaries. Read more
