Charley's War, Volume 2: 1 August - 17 October 1916

Part of the Charley's War series

From renowned comics writer Pat Mills and legendary artist Joe Colquhoun comes a truly classic piece of graphic storytelling: thrilling, horrifying and deeply moving. In 1916, Charley Bourne lies about his age to fight in France. But thoughts of glory and patriotism are swept aside by the horror of life and death in the trenches of the First World War. In this second volume, we follow the continuing trials of Charley during the bloody and disastrous Battle of the Somme. Charley's War also features an appreciation by comics writer Garth Ennis (War Stories), a director's commentary' by Pat Mills, and a fascinating article on the cultural history of World War One.
