The first follows the technological innovation theme from the earlier book and examines the impact of the introduction of the first British tanks on the battle. The second half sees the Germans reacting to this new development in the only way they can — increased ferocity, brutality and dirty tactics — flying in the face Charleys War: 1 August-17 October 1916 the gentlemanly conduct of previous confrontations run by unsuitable aristocrats. The other major theme running through this book is the regularlity with which the British army is willing to shoot and torture its own men, for anything from basic insubordination through to falling asleep on duty. As before, the waste of human life presented Charleys War: 1 August-17 October 1916 the comic is poignant and more than a little shocking, not least of all because the story is reprinted from a publication aimed at young boys interested in the glamour of soldiering. Charley loses friends quicker than he can make them and the horror of it all turns this social, caring individual away from forming any bonds with his colleagues in the trenches because the likelihood of losing them is so high. When all the English look like bedraggled waifs and the Germans like uniformed barbarians, it Charleys War: 1 August-17 October 1916 us away from the true nature World War I — an entire generation of men grinding one another into mince.

Charley’s War | Some WW1 Photographs… Described by Andrew Harrison as "the greatest British comic strip ever created", Charley's War tells the story of an underage British soldier called Charley Bourne. Charley joins the British Army during World War I at the age of 16 having lied about his age and told the recruiting officers that he was 18; they conveniently overlook the fact that Charley gives his date of Charleys War: 1 August-17 October 1916 on his application form asand is quickly thrust into the Battle of the Somme. The strip follows Charley's life in the trenches and Charleys War: 1 August-17 October 1916 experiences during the war. Colquhoun put a meticulous level of research into the already well-researched scripts which Mills provided. The strip rarely flinched from providing an extremely frank portrayal of the horrors of war, so much so that in some later reprintings some of the artwork was censored. Mills added a political slant in the strip not seen in British war comics and avoided the standard heroics common in war comics generally. In addition to depicting Charley's own experiences of the war, the comic took the risk of going off on several tangents, temporarily shifting the focus to characters in different locations and time periods. The first and most successful tangent was the story of 'Blue', a British soldier in the French Foreign Legion who fought with them at Verdun in before deserting and making his way back to England where he meets Charley. The final and least successful tangent was the story of Charley's cousin Jack Bourne, a sailor in the Royal Navy and the story of his ship HMS Kent and its participation in the Battle of the Falklands in Unlike the previous diversions, this new change of setting received poor feedback from readers and the Charleys War: 1 August-17 October 1916 of Battle ordered Mills to return the storyline to Charley in the trenches, much to Mills' disappointment who had originally planned to continue Jack's story on into the Battle of Jutland in The strip followed Charley through to the end of the war and through into the invasion of Russia in However, in JanuaryMills quit the strip before being able to complete the story he intended the story to end inwith Charley on the dole as Hitler is Charleys War: 1 August-17 October 1916 Chancellor of Germany due to a dispute over his research budget. Mills was replaced by Scott Goodall and the story was moved to the Second World War and became a more conventional war adventure strip. However, the series ended in the early part of the Second World War after Charley is one of the lucky ones successfully evacuated from Dunkirk along with his sonrealising he is too old for soldiering any more. The story ends with him wondering how he came to become a soldier in the first place, leading into a re-run of the strip within Battle Picture Weekly until that comic folded. In reality, the ending of Charley's War was down to the poor health of Joe Colquhounwhich had already caused the strip to be delayed several weeks. Out of respect for Joe, there was no question of getting another artist to take over production, and it was felt best to simply draw it to a close. InBattle was folded into Eaglewhich also began reprinting Charley's Warwhich became one of the mainstays of the title. Bythe storyline had reached Charleys War: 1 August-17 October 1916 Charley's time as a stretcher bearer, but with the comic about to be revamped and most of the strips about to be dropped, the title skipped ahead to the conclusion of the First World War and the end of Charley's conflict with Captain Snell in order to give it some conclusion. The whole series was collected in ten graphic novels by Titan Books between and Rebellion 's Treasury of British Comics imprint began a new series of graphic novels in Charley Bourne - The central character and hero of the series. A working-class London lad from a close-knit family, he enlists in the British Army inage sixteen and arrives in the trenches on the Western Front shortly before the start of the Somme Campaign. Naive and not too bright, Bourne nonetheless gets much hard-earned worldly wisdom as he experiences and survives the horrors of the Great War for the Charleys War: 1 August-17 October 1916 three years Charleys War: 1 August-17 October 1916 beyond. Exceptionally brave, loyal to his comrades and quick to defend those who are suffering bullying or injustice, Bourne makes friends and enemies in equal numbers. His fundamental decency and conscientious sense of duty are sometimes at odds with his anger at the many injustices of military life and his growing disillusionment over the conduct of the war. Burly, loud, fond of a drink and seemingly indestructable, Bill's roaring voice and courage help Charley and his fellows out of trouble time and time again. Ginger Jones - Charley's best pal on the Somme in Never a natural-born soldier and always the first to complain, Ginger makes up for his lack of enthusiasm with his sense of humour and cunning. Despite himself, he survives numerous tight-spots alongside Charley in Lieutenant Thomas - Charley's first platoon commander and easily the best officer he serves under during the war. Charleys War: 1 August-17 October 1916 but enlightened, brave but never blood-thirsty, Thomas is a decent man who represents the best of his class. Charleys War: 1 August-17 October 1916 later Captain D'Arcy Snell - A vicious, pompous and war-loving officer, Snell treats the war as a marvellous sport and his men as Charleys War: 1 August-17 October 1916 examples of the lower classes who must be kept in their place. Snell becomes Charley's platoon commander after the death of Thomas and he remains Charley's ultimate nemesis. Lonely - A traumatised veteran who was the sole survivor of his platoon when it was wiped out in due to a recklessly cruel act by Lt Snell. Wracked by guilt, he confides in Charley the truth of what happened. Blue - A British deserter from the French Foreign LegionCharleys War: 1 August-17 October 1916 fled to England after surviving the hellish Battle of Verdun in in which most of his fellow Legionaries were slaughtered. Charley reluctantly helps Blue to avoid capture whilst in Britain and later encounters him again during the infamous Etaples Mutiny in Despite his misgivings over Blue's desertion, Charley cannot help but feel a kinship with him due to their common resentment of the military hierarchy and Charley's realisation that, with less fortunate circumstances, he could have easily ended up the same way.

The figure of the “metahuman,” the human with superpowers and purpose, embodies the transfigured nerd whose defects—intellect, swarm-behavior, abnormality, flux, and love of machines—become virtues of survival in the twenty-first century. The conflict among capitalism, fascism, and communism, which drove the Cold War and its immediate aftermath, also drove the Golden and Silver Ages of Comics. In the era of planetary emergency, these forces reconfigure themselves as different versions of world-destruction. The metahuman also signifies going “beyond” these economic and political systems into orders that preserve democracy without destroying the biosphere. Therefore, the styles of metahuman figuration represent an appeal to tradition and a technique of transformation. I call these strategies the iconic style and metamorphic style. The iconic style, more typical of DC Comics, makes the hero an icon of virtue, and metahuman powers manifest as visible signs: the “S” of Superman, the tiara and golden lasso of Wonder Woman.

    AN EXHIBITION BY STEPHEN SYMONS How British war comics of the 60s, 70s and 80s aided the formulation of a militarised state-of-mind among white English speaking boys during apartheid. CRITICAL AFRICAN STUDIES 2 www.up.ac.za/historical-heritage-studies CRITICAL AFRICAN STUDIES www.castup.co.za www.sayingno.co.za 3 How British war comics of the 60s, 70s and 80s aided the formulation of a militarised state-of-mind among white English speaking boys during apartheid. This exhibition explores the under-researched domain of British war comics and their indelible influence on English speaking boys during apartheid. It explores how war comics aided the tacit construction of a militarised state-of-mind, effectively buttressing the ideologies of the apartheid regime and former South African Defence Force (SADF). The germination of a militarised masculinity begins in childhood and toys are often echoes of the adult world. War toys such as toy guns reinforce the notion that a military solution is a masculine, collective and socially acceptable response. Cock and Nathan (1988: 299) cite Jochelson and Buntman who note that “toys embody social and cultural definitions of what constitutes appropriate interests, activities and (the) behaviour of children” The mythology of combat, perceived as inherently honourable and courageous, often has its origins within the formative realms of childhood, aided by toys, the media and popular literature. Apartheid-era war toys and comics books were almost exclusively masculine, including boy’s comics of the 1980s (Battle, Warlord, Battle Picture Library and Action). British comic books focused mainly on World War 1 and 2 narratives and dominated the children’s magazine shelves of newsagents such as CNA and Paperbacks of the 60s, 70s and 80s.

COLONIAL BURMA AND POPULAR WESTERN CULTURE: AN EXPLORATORY SURVEY Abstract Over the centuries, images of Burma in the Western imagination have been remarkably consistent. At the broadest level, they have emphasised Burma’s remoteness, strangeness and harshness, or offered a much more idealised, romantic view of the country and its people. Within these two broad schools there have been a number of recurring motifs that have helped confirm the idea of Burma’s dualistic nature, and contributed to its mixed reputation.
