"Charley`s War: 2 June 1916 - 1 August 1916" from: AUD$31.49
TITAN BOOKS
Charley`s War: 2 June 1916 - 1 August 1916 Description: Created with passionate love and hate, this continuing story from the 1979 British weekly Battle Action focuses on the plight of common soldiers during WWI. Young Charley Bourne is in some ways the ideal enlisted man: he`s not especially bright, but he believes devoutly in his king and country and is certain that he and his comrades will triumph because of their natural superiority to foreigners. He soon learns better. The Allies are bogged down in muddy trenches, shooting at the enemy across a shell-torn no man`s land, while most of their officers are either sadistic martinets or doddering fools. Charley`s courage and his fellowship with his `mates` are genuine; so, however, is the pointless slaughter of young men. The story builds up to the Battle of the Somme, a historical catastrophe that resulted in virtually unchanged battle lines despite over a million casualties. Mills`s carefully researched scripts bristle with rage at the hardships the soldiers endured and the society that betrayed them. An especially effective touch is the use of interpolated scraps of Charley`s letters, where he struggles not to tell his family how awful his experience is, followed by their pathetically ignorant, patriotic replies. Colquhoun`s dark brushwork is lovingly detailed and horribly convincing. Timelessly relevant and well researched, this is a comics classic.

"Classic Dan Dare: Marooned On Mercury" from: AUD$31.49
The Nile Book Store
Classic Dan Dare: Marooned On Mercury Description: While not well known in the U.S., Dan Dare was the most important comic for a generation of British kids, having run through the 1950s and `60s in England. Dan Dare is a good-natured space pilot and hero; this volume contains the entire `Marooned on Mercury` adventure, as Dan and his gang, believed dead, are trapped on Mercury and captured by rock creatures. The story is old-fashioned wordy fun, not unlike science fiction movies of the time. It was serialized weekly in two-page installments, so the action can seem a bit stilted at times, and it is certainly too much to absorb in a single sitting. The series is best known for its artwork: lusciously painted visuals rendered by artist Hampson and a variety of assistants. Hampson designed a believable future not too sleek, not too dingy, but rather a subtly different version of the present. Hampson`s paintings are meticulous and colorful, but elegant and restrained. No bodice-ripping scenes or out of control monsters appear in the strips; everything has a certain modesty about it, including Hampson`s precise brushwork. Dan Dare is a fun, lively artifact from mid-century England, and its artwork and attitude are worth a second (and third) look. Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)...
