For so many WW2TV viewers it was comics like Commando, Battle Weekly, Warlord and Sgt Rock that fuelled our interest in combat and history. Join Paul Woodadge and three incredible guests for this live discussion: Garth Ennis is a Northern Irish writer now living in New York. Although probably best known for Preacher, The Boys and Judge Dread he is also a prolific writer of WWII comics. Series and books like Tankies, D-Day Dodgers, The Last German Winter and Night Witches (about a female Soviet bomber unit) are highly regarded. He has also written the introductions to reprinted volumes of Battle comics from the 60s and 70s.
