Description

Two full-length WWII stories illustrated by Hugo Pratt.

From the publisher:

Night of the Devil by comics legend Hugo Pratt is the fourth in a major series of new collections - joining the War Picture Library's mission to bring all of the long-lost UK of war comics master artists back into print.

In Night of the Devil, take a hallucinatory trip through the oppressive heat of the Burmese jungle along with British soldiers engaged in desperate skirmishes with the enemy. In Bayonet Jungle, Private Jack Green's presence is seen as an omen of bad luck but he struggles to prove himself to the experienced soldiers of Third Platoon as they fight against the Japanese army that surrounds them.

Two exciting and explosive war stories lushly illustrated by Hugo Pratt, comics legend and creator of iconic character, Corto Maltese.

Hugo Pratt's influence on comic art can still be felt today, he was one of the 20th century's greatest artists. In 1967 he created the internationally popular comic book character, Corto Maltese, but he had already been working in comics for 20 years before then. In 1959 he moved to London where he worked for Fleetway on their War Picture Library line of comics. He won countless awards for his work before he died in 1995.
