Product Description

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"

Product 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. As the winter of 1916 approaches, Charley is caught in a desperate fight for survival against the 'Judgment Troopers'. Injured in battle, he returns home to convalesce...only to discover that the Germans have brought the war to the streets of London! Rich in the detailed minutiae of the terror-punctuated existence of a Tommy, this third volume of "Charley's War" features a brand new introduction and director's commentary by Pat Mills, plus exclusive bonus content.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great piece of art, 28 Sep 2006

By	SJ SMART "Smartie" (London) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

Charley's War continues in to its third volume. If you havent read or seen Charley's war then you should, its a brilliantly conceived introduction to the horrors of the First World War trenches originally shown in the war comic Battle.

In this volume Charley is fighting the German Judgement Troopers during their counter offensive on the Somme, the battle eventually grinds to halt, Charley is wounded and he is sent home on leave to London in time for a German airship air raid on the East End of London

Although this was orginally aimed at children in the Battle comic it appeals to adults too with its strong anti-war message and as a teacher I have used it in classes about World War one to great success.

I do wish that Titan would publish more than one volume a year though, its very frustrating waiting a year for the next one to come out, I'm sure they could easily do two a year! Please Titan, pulbish more, quicker!

Read this book! It really needs 10 stars, its unique.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning, 20 Dec 2006

By	GEH - See all my reviews

About 20 years ago I used to read "Battle" comic. Looking back on it now, my memories of the majority of the stories have merged into a generic war mush with the usual lantern-jawed tough heros, forgettable daring-do plots with the usual last minute escape against the odds and the wholesale extermination of hundreds of anonymous enemy forces... with the exception of "Charley's War". I always read it first.
The quality of the writing, the detail of the drawings and obvious level of research undertaken elevated it above the other stories in the comic. When I heard that the series was being published I felt that I wanted to read it again. I don't collect comics, or graphic novels. I haven't read (or probably ever will read) the Batman Dark Knight or Watchmen novels. However Charley's War is stunning. I have bought all three of the Titan books and hope that they will continue to publish the rest of the series, which I believe takes Charley up to WW2. I will be buying the next books as and when they are published.

5.0 out of 5 stars The greatest strip ever produced., 24 Oct 2006

By	S. Pouch "Sam" (Ireland) - See all my reviews

I have just recieved the third installment of the masterpiece that is Charley's war and I now realise as an adult that this story was wasted on me as a child. The writing by Pat mills surpasses anything in comics before or since, never has a story had so many characters that you truly felt were people you knew and if they were real you would love to have them join you for a pint in your local obviously the characters like Captain Snell is excluded. As a child Joe Colquhoun was my hero and I spent hours copying his work and only now nearing fourty do I realise what a master artist he really was. In his notes in this third installment Mr Mills picks a certain frame and says it is the perfect movie image, well I agree but I also think you can pick any frame and apply the same idea so incredibly detailed is Mr Colquhoun's work.
Truly the writing and it's attention to historical facts and the artwork and it's incredible attention to detail surpass anything in my opinion that has ever been published in comics.
If you have never experienced Charley's war do yourself a favour and buy parts 1, 2 and three today.
