About this title

Review:

"Charley's War is a war comic against which all others are to be judged. It's the best of it's class, and Hitler's Youth is the best of the series." --Comics Cavern

"If you are a fan of the original Charley's War series, a fan of war stories, or just a fan of good writing and art, I would highly suggest this." --The Daily Blam!

"YOU NEED TO READ IT. The history that is put into this, with the facts, just moves it up 10 notches above anything else I have read when it comes to war comics." --Comic Attack

"The art is detailed and dark... The material was extremely well-researched, and it feels authentic... History buffs will find this volume an unusual take on familiar material." --Comics Worth Reading

"The writing and art here are fantastic and the storytelling is solid. This is the craft of comics at its best... If you love war comics then CHARLEY'S WAR is a must own for you." --Ain't It Cool News

"The level of detail in these comic strips is amazing, and you can tell that a lot of research has gone into the writing and artwork." --Blogomatic3000

"The black and white art is brilliantly, suitably, gritty, and the story avoids either taking its subject too lightly or sensationalising battle." --Skinny

"Colquhoun's pencils are gritty yet complicated, and he's equally adept at conveying quiet moments in the trenches as he is at grand dogfights." --Nerdy Nothings
