Just pegged this in Comic Book Resources listings for DC comics due in July. Looks promising!
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!
5 issue series, first issue due July 6

Forgot to mention - cover is by Garry Leach. Very nice stuff - could be like Commando turned up to 11 :-)

I've seen the other Covers Garry has done. They are great.
Colin's B&Ws are fantastic, very reminiscant of Ian Kennedy's Commando heydays!

Where did Battler Britton appear originally? Valiant?
