Battler Britton: Bloody Good Show by Garth Ennis & Colin Wilson
Rebellion 978-183786760-8, 26 August 2026, 128pp, £24.99. Available via Amazon.

October, 1942: The Nazis are winning on every front. From the Russian steppes to the sands of North Africa, Hitler’s legions are on the advance. Now, two fighter squadrons – one British, one American – are assigned to fly together in the barren Egyptian desert. Their leader is the RAF’s Wing Commander Robert Britton, known to friend and foe alike as “Battler”.
    Garth Ennis (Preacher, The Boys) and Colin Wilson (Judge Dredd, Blueberry) present one of British Comics’ most fondly remembered characters in a brand new adventure, as deadly dogfights erupt mere feet above the earth, bullets rip through fuel tanks and airframes, and men’s destinies are decided in the blink of an eye: Battler Britton flies again.

Scarlet Traces Volume Four by Ian Edginton & D'Israeli
Rebellion 978-183786786-8, 26 August 2026, 112pp, £17.99. Available via Amazon.

No one would have believed in the last years of the nineteenth century that this world was being watched keenly and closely by intelligences greater than man's and yet as mortal as his own!
    In the immediate aftermath of The War of the Worlds, Britain, having defeated the invading Martians, is a weakened shell of its former self. As it begins the process of rebuilding, a new, more Earthly, foe seizes its opportunity.
    Scarlet Traces continues in this fourth volume of Ian Edginton and D'Israeli's critically acclaimed sequel to H.G. Wells' iconic novel The War of the Worlds.
