Written
by British comics legend Pat Mills and featuring the breath-taking artwork of
Joe Colquhoun, this series redefined what comics were capable of and deserves
its place on every reader's bookshelf. Considered by many as the most important
war story to appear in comics, Charley’s War follows working class lad Charley
Bourne, who eagerly signs up to fight on the Western front in 1916. The
idealistic sixteen-year-old experiences a hellish world of trench warfare where
every day is a bitter fight for survival. Charley and his friends soon realise
they have been thrust into a conflict where ordinary people are expected to
throw away their lives to serve the selfish interests of those in power!
