Hugo Pratt is one of the greatest comics artists of all time. The
Italian master’s distinctive lines and storytelling finesse made him a
legend, and yet his work on British war comics has largely been
forgotten. No longer. Here, restored and presented in a stunning new
edition, is Battle Stations - a tale of stark terror and war at sea that
first appeared in War Picture Library in 1963. It follows three
survivors of a Nazi naval attack as they seek their revenge on a deadly
U-Boat – no matter the cost. Brutal, bloody and grimly heroic, Battle
Stations could only be the work of the maestro himself, and marks the
beginning of the Treasury of British Comics’ mission to return Pratt’s
magnificent UK work to print.
