On Saturday 9th March Garth Ennis will be holding a free online Q&A for this exhibition where he will discuss the landscape of British War comics in the seventies and their decline in the eighties, and describes how writers re-invigorate classic characters for contemporary audiences.

I'll definitely be visiting this place. I read a lot of war comics back in the 70's so might recognise some of the artwork.
More importantly though, in the early part of WW2, my grandfather was in the Ox and Bucks light infantry and was taken prisoner. He spent the remaining years as a POW in a camp in Poland. Would be very interested to see if there's anything about this documented there.

The Tank Museum is using material from the "Victor" in some of its displays.
As is the Imperial War Museum.
