Joe Colquhoun's artwork of the battles against the Bolsheviks in Northern Russia is some of his best and the storyline revolving around the Red Colonel Spirondov's armoured train is quite exciting, although the conclusion is somewhat rushed.
I know many people look down their nose at "war comics" but Charley's War was something unique and special and has thoroughly deserved the excellent reprint treatment Titan have given it.
If you have any interest in the Great War I cannot do anything but recommend the series and suggest you try volume one. I will be truly surprised if Pat Mills story and Joe Colquhoun's artwork do not grab you, hook, line and sinker...
hoping there's enough to do the ww2 stories as well with charlie's retreat to dunkirk , brilliant series of books im at 7 so far finding it hard to find the last few , there is a web page that has a lot of the action force comics on as well (blood for the baron)

Great series, though I'm a little disappointed that they're not going to do a volume for the Dunkirk campaign
