The Devil's Brigade (comic series)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Devil's Brigade was a recurring series in Charlton Comics conceived by writer Willi Franz and drawn by Sam Glanzman. The series revolved around commando troops in North Africa. According to Franz:

...(The Devil's Brigade) was an American tank crew joining up with a British tank crew, and they were roaming the North African Desert. (I didn't even realize it at the time, I was using an advanced tank called The Centurion, which didn't come out until 1947, but I was younger and stupider then.) They were similar to the LRDG, the Long Range Desert Groups, which in reality, fought in trucks. But the series was just a shallow kind of series, just action-adventure. I never got anywhere strong with it, and I was kind of relieved when I got a call saying "We're dropping the War Heroes title, so we don't need 'The Devil's Brigade' anymore." Initially, they doubled-up "The Devil's Brigade" in Fightin' Army with "Willy Schultz".^[1]
