Charley's War (Vol. 4): Blue's Story

Book excerpt: 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. 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 an introduction and director’s commentary by Pat Mills, plus bonus content on the historical background to the story.
