Charley's oorlog #8

The cover of this Dutch-language edition pairs a stark, sepia-toned period photograph of uniformed World War I soldiers posed together — a small white dog nestled among them — with a single vivid red poppy, the contrast between monochrome history and that flash of color quietly striking. Subtitled Hitlers jeugd ("Hitler's Youth"), this volume of Pat Mills and Joe Colquhoun's acclaimed graphic novel series continues the story of a young soldier navigating the brutal realities of the First World War. Published in 2023 by HUM!, it's a thoughtful and sobering entry in one of the most human anti-war stories in the comics medium.
