Consistently Gripping and Involving - By: The Kinniburgh Kid, 25 Oct 2008
As with all the previous editions, this latest collection of the Charley's War strips is made up of wonderful, detailed & moving artwork carrying along great story-telling.

Through Charley we see the effects & impact of the Great War on an ordinary bloke. Although a fictitious character, Charley goes through what real men did thanks to through research by the author & artists. The politics & social comment might be over done, or it might just be an accurate reflection.

Charley's War is about as far removed from Batman & Superman comics as you can imagine, but is all the more powerful & memorable for it. As this is the 90th anniversary of the end of the Great War it is a good time to read (or even re-read) these stories.

Highly recommended for all ages & all levels of knowledge on the subject.
