Title: The Team That Went To War

Some more great 'Battle' action here - the usual dose of appalling violence and superb art from Mike 'Darkies Mob' Western.

See the link below....

"The last thing you hear will be the sound of good Spandau lead... cutting your comrades to pieces!"

Bloody classic this one...

Wish I knew who wrote it - I reckon it could possibly be John Wagner in his 'Nazi memorobilia loving :) John Howard' guise..... It's certainly violent enough!

The even-more violent concluding part will be up soon....

Well I'm guessing that the heavily fore-shadowed goalie's special ability to throw things very far will be used to rescue his mates. I'm hoping it'll will involve him throwing the severed head of the nazi bastard... but I think that's just wishful thinking... ;-)

in its time great stuff .

great art work.and a decent story if you ignore the football team angle.

but you compare the voilence in this to tooth and we look tame (sometimes)

Ahh real old-skool thrill that... so he did use his special 'throwing power' but it was grenades! Only missing him throwing/catching a severed head and it would have been perfect...

Not 'quite' as violent/mental as Action but a good attempt.

And what's wrong with footy in a WWII prison camp?! Did the makers of Escape to Victory die in vain?
