Longbow

From 2020, Bear Alley Books has revived the classic British war comic Longbow, originally a two-issue series from the 1960s. This reprint collection gathers the gritty, historically-set tales of archers and infantrymen, most frequently penned by Mike Butterworth and illustrated by Geoff Campion and R. Charles Roylance. A concise, no-frills artifact of UK adventure comics, it matters as a preservation of a minor but authentic piece of the medium's past.
