Synopsis

Renowned UK comics writer Pat Mills (Marshal Law, Sláine) and legendary artist Joe Colquhoun (Johnny Red) continue the thrilling, humorous and horrifying story of World War One soldier Charley Bourne.

It is now the late summer of 1916. Though Charley has survived the early days of the Somme, with treachery on both sides of the wire and a dangerous new commanding officer, triumph and tragedy lie in store as he desperately tries to survive...

Rich in the detailed minutiae of the terror-punctuated life of a ‘Tommy’, this second volume of Charley’s War features a ‘director’s commentary’ by Pat Mills, plus an article on the real-life air-raids of the First World War.
