One of the most fondly remembered characters from the Treasury of British Comics returns in a tensely told and lushly rendered tale of honour, duty, loyalty and sacrifice.
Originally published by Amalgamated Press and Fleetway in the 1950s, Wing Commander Robert Hereward “Battler” Britton was a member of the Royal Air Force, flying as part of the Allied Forces during World War 2. His adventures saw him take to the skies for a series of fondly-remembered stories – which led to the character returning to print decades later, courtesy of Garth Ennis (Preacher) and Colin Wilson (Rogue Trooper)!
A five-issue revival of Battler Britton was published in 2006 through DC and Wildstorm, which brought the character back to the comics page for the first time in years! And now, Rebellion are proud to collect the revival miniseries for this complete collection, bringing all the aerial action to your shelf.
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 a remote American airstrip to spearhead a joint action against Hitler’s war machine. Now these two groups of reluctant allies must somehow put aside their mutual distrust and work together…a task that is much easier said than done!
Battler Britton: Bloody Good Show will be released on the 28th July, available in both standard and webshop-exclusive hardback editions! Pre-order your copy today!

In the last year of a long and dreadful war, as vengeful Russian forces reach the German frontier, British-born fighter pilot Johnny Redburn leads Falcon Squadron in deadly strikes against the retreating Nazis. With all his comrades gone and his lover, Nina Petrova, lost somewhere in the maelstrom, the “Red Devil” knows his own doom is only a matter of time. Maybe the next mission, or the one after that - but it’s coming.
High above the freezing Arctic Ocean, one last aerial duel will decide who lives, who dies - and who is lost forever.
Written by Garth Ennis (The Boys, Preacher) and drawn by Keith Burns (Battle Action, Out of the Blue), A Couple of Heroes brings the saga of Johnny and Nina - the Red Devil and the Angel of Death - to its fiery, action-packed conclusion.
