WildStorm celebrates Battler Britton's 50th anniversary with this rollicking 5-issue miniseries from the hallowed halls of IPC, the legendary home of England's greatest comics creations! As the Nazis rain terror throughout Europe, Allied forces are on the run in North Africa. It's October 1942 and Rommel's Panzers are unrelenting in their pursuit. Wing Commander Robert "Battler" Britton of the RAF and his squadron have been dispatched to an American airstrip to spearhead a joint action against Hitler's war machine. Now they must survive taunts, threats, and assaults...and that's just from the Yanks!

BONUS REVIEW by RICK BERG
Ah another Garth Ennis World War II comic book. Once again a roguish hero and his band of malcontents are fighting the Germans. This time out British pilot extraordinaire Battler Britton is sent to teach Americans how to fight Germans in the air. As usual the two friendly sides do not mix well and fight almost as much between themselves as they do against the real enemy. In typical Ennis fashion tragedy strikes because of the rivalry. The book also suffers from another fault typical of war comics, everyone looks nearly identical. It is especially confusing during the dogfight scenes because they all look the same. Colin Wilson’s art is not bad, far from it actually, but when everyone is wearing green and brown fatigues with helmets in cockpits the action is slightly perplexing. Ho hum. 6 Grahams
