Charley's War: A Boy Soldier in the Great War

Pat Mills is a venerated comics writer of such legendary titles as Charley’s War, Marshal Law, and Judge Dredd; and creator of a whole slew of famous stories and characters from the pages of British sci-fi flagship 2000 AD—including Flesh, Invasion, Nemesis the Warlock, The ABC Warriors, and Defoe.

Joe Colquhoun (1926–1987) was a British comics illustrator best known for his artwork in Charley’s War. The Los Angeles Times called Charley’s War “darkly spectacular” and Publisher’s Weekly said “Colquhoun’s dark brushwork is lovingly detailed and horribly convincing.” Early in his comics career, he worked on Roy of the Rovers, Lion, and Tiger.
