The Happy Warrior

The Winston Churchill graphic novel returns—for the first time!
On an early Friday evening 50 years ago, half a million British lads descended on newsagents to scoop up the first installment of Winston Churchill's life story. Churchill's biography was about to be told in the hugely popular Eagle comic. Fifty years later, this series—the forerunner of today's equally popular graphic novel—still captivates, entertains and educates.

Here for the first time are all 50 weekly installments of "The Happy Warrior," as Churchill's biography was called. (We explain why in the book.) You see the comic strips exactly as they appeared between 4 Oct 1957 and 6 Sept 1958, their colors made all the richer with our high-quality paper. New commentary by Richard Langworth, the Churchill Centre historian, adds background and context. The superb art and fast pacing make this history highly entertaining, both for Churchill buffs and those hearing the story of this great man for the first time. Only from Levenger.
