Regulars around here can join in with me on this if they want, seeing as I've pimped this comic so many times.

(all together now)

Charley's War, by Pat Mills and Joe Colquhoun has been described as "the greatest British comic strip ever created." I would further describe it as the greatest war comic ever created too.

You can read the first four episodes online here (http://charleyswar.tripod.com/id9.html)

I saw Charley's War for £1.99, brand new, in a discount bookstore last month, and didn't have time to queue at the kiosk. Only when I returned home and looked it up online did I realise my woeful judgement. I've been haunted by the missed opportunity ever since.
