War Picture Library #[4]
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis collection gathers the complete run of the classic British war comic series 'Night of the Devil' from the War Picture Library, originally published in the 1960s. Featuring gritty, black-and-white artwork and taut storytelling, it follows soldiers caught in harrowing combat scenarios during World War II. Rebellion's 2021 edition brings these rare, pulp-style war tales back into print for modern readers.
In "Night of the Devil," British troops push through the oppressive jungles of Burma during WWII, led by weary Lieutenant Robert Salter. As the patrol stumbles upon an ancient temple in the heart of the wilderness, the silence that follows feels less like relief and more like anticipation. Written by Tom Tully and illustrated with haunting detail by Hugo Pratt—whose distinctive pencils and inks define both the interior art and the cover—this issue blends wartime grit with an eerie, unfolding mystery.
In the sweltering jungles of Burma, Lieutenant Robert Salter leads his weary patrol through the dense undergrowth, pushing forward despite exhaustion. When they stumble upon a forgotten temple hidden in the mist, the tension shifts—something ancient and unseen stirs beneath the crumbling stone. With Sergeant Matt Brind at his side and the others close behind, Salter must decide whether to press on or face the unknown within.
In the sweltering jungles of Burma, Private Jack Green is thrust into the brutal reality of war as he joins a hardened British platoon. With Major Webb leading the charge, Sergeant Freeman watching his every move, and the gruff camaraderie of Jenkins, Smiler Cobb, and "Tommo" Tomkins, Jack must prove himself in a place where every shadow could hide danger—and every man carries his own burden.
