CHARLEY'S WAR: THE DEFINITIVE COLLECTION #1

THE MOST RENOWNED WORK IN THE HISTORY OF BRITISH COMICS RETURNS FOR THE CENTENARY OF THE FIRST WORLD WAR. Considered by many as the most important war story to appear in comics, Charley’s War follows the working class 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! Written by British comics legend Pat Mills and featuring the breathtaking artwork of Joe Colquhoun, this first volume of Charley’s War includes Charley’s harrowing participation in one of the bloodiest encounters in human history - The Battle of the Somme. — Description from Comic Vine community (comicvine.gamespot.com).
