The Devil's Brigade (comic series)
- The Devil's Brigade (comic series)
"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". [Interview in "Comic Book Artist 9" (Aug 2000), TwoMorrows Publishing, Raleigh, North Carolina.]
