A post Pat Mills Charley's War. Superlative art by Joe Colquhoun. Battle, 31st August 1985. Does anyone else feel that Titan should reprint this series after the WW1 episodes?
Whilst Scott Goodall's WW2 story was never going to be the equal of Mills' WW1 original, I do think that it deserves a fresh look.
A Charley Bourne, soul scarred by his Great War experiences, back on the battlefields of France; an older, more tired, less vital Charley Bourne; a Charley Bourne with a son of his own, a son in danger; well, there is certainly plenty of meat on that bone.
