Tom Veitch and Greg Irons, The Legion of Charlies (1971)



The Legion of Charlies by Tom Veitch and Greg Irons (1971)

The classic Underground depicting twin horrors of the 1960s.

The Critics: "Contains long story written by Tom Veitch, older brother of Rick Veitch, drawn by the near legendary Greg Irons, comparing Charlie Company doing My Lai massacre in Viet Nam to the Charlie Manson family LA area murder rampage. Quite heavy duty graphic in the true depiction of the carnage. Both stories run unique in that one story runs along the top panels while the other story runs along all the bottom panels. Also contains Dave Sheridan art. Very EC horror & war comix inspired. Highly recommended!" --Robert Beerbohm, Facebook post, 2021
