The 2000AD website has posted an obituary for Barrie Tomlinson.
"Probably one of the most successful editors of his time, Barrie combined a deep knowledge of and passion for comics with a salesman’s eye for publicity. Thanks to him, Roy of the Rovers remains a household name while generations of readers have been thrilled, educated, and scared in equal measure by titles he launched and championed."

Charley's War began serialisation in Battle in 1979, and as written by Pat Mills it is one of the greatest strips in the history of British comics, a serious look at how the First World War affected Britain's working class. Complementing the story was the artwork of Joe Colquhoun, fresh off the immensely popular Johnny Red, Colquhoun pushed himself even further detailing the wartime travails of Charley Bourne, producing stunning artwork each and every week.
