Battling Britons, Volume Two, Issue One - Justin Marriott, ed.


The fanzine for collectors and readers of vintage British war comics such as Battle Picture Weekly, Commando, Air Ace Picture Library and more. 90 pages of interviews, reviews, features and articles. The first issue includes -

60+ reviews of vintage pocketbook titles

Garth Ennis and Keith Burns discuss their 2015 reboot of the Johnny Red character

Brent Towns talks about his work as a Commando scriptwriter

Columns on aerial combat in comics, Marvel goes to Vietnam, master artist Cam Kennedy, eccentric British war strips and historical adventure titles

And much more!

(I'm proud to have a regular column of COMMANDO reviews in this fanzine. This is a great issue with a wide variety of material from some excellent contributors. As usual, in going through it I've already found a number of books I want to buy and read! If you're interested in war comics or war fiction in general, I give it a high recommendation.)
