This collection is not only a must-have for comic fans, it should be required viewing for writers and artists across the board." - Crave Online. "In a world where a lot of our entertainment is watered down it’s great to be exposed to a comic from another era that told its story with a real bravado that rarely exists anywhere in today’s comic book industry." - Ain't It Cool News"Darkie’s Mob is a treasure, something to be read and loved as often as you can
In the hellish, humid jungles of Burma, renegade Captain Joe Darkie leads a rag-tag squad of British soldiers behind Japanese lines, transforming them into the brutal “Darkie’s Mob”! Hapless Private Shortland narrates how the squad face hardship, horror and vicious combat at every turn, as their Captain’s mania threatens to engulf them all. But how many will have to die before his bloodlust is finally sated?
a great buy for BATTLE memories Andrew Wye took me back to the days of waiting for BATTLE to be at the newsagency . great story and graphics I have been purchasing all the Charleys war and this is a great addition to my library . Must buy for all BATTLE fans. Battle Was a staple of my childhood, and the Mob was one of the series I loved. Together with Charley's War and Johnny Red, this series helped develop a life long love of comics.Would you give this to an 8 year old to read in this day and age? I would. But I bet I would be in the minority, which is a shame. Great story, brutal, and great artwork. How could this be anything other than 5 stars?
