First World War stories rarely appeared in British war comics published after the Second World War. This was not the case during the war and interwar period, though: story papers, precursors to comics, engaged with the war in detail. Dr. David Budgen (University of Kent) tracks comic book engagement with the conflict from these first ventures through to recent centenary commemorations.
