 Pat Mills interviews
Joe was an incredibly nice human being who some editors in the 1960s and 1970s took advantage of.
Joe came up with brilliant work and it seemed to me, he had done this without talking directly to me. So I didn't want to mess with the magic; we had a fantastic formulae, I felt it would be foolish to rock the boat.
Joe needed to keep it going, so that was fine with me. I would have loved to carry it on into WW2, but - because I feared I did not have enough knowledge to sustain my usual savagery and they wouldn't give me a research budget - I declined.

While it’s unlikely Colquhoun’s incredibly detailed work and his vibrant use of fl and white would have found a place in any American book, it still meant he just missed the chance at more widespread recognition.

The strip itself effortlessly switches from drama to horror to comedy to political outrage to historical document invisibly - all you know at the time is that you're getting a cracking read, but later images and incidents and snippits of dialogue come back to haunt you.

The first volume of Charley's War saw Pat Mills and Joe Colquhoun recreating the horror of the early stages of the Battle of the Somme.
Colquhoun's artwork portrays the horror and atmosphere well, especially in his backgrounds and close-ups, but his characterisation sometimes veers towards caricature that we felt could sometimes detract from the story's gritty purpose.
When all the English look like bedraggled waifs and the Germans like uniformed barbarians, it pulls us away from the true nature World War I - an entire generation of men grinding one another into mince.
