Joe Colquhoun

Joe Colquhoun (1926–1987) was a British comics illustrator best known for his artwork in Charley's War. The Los Angeles Times called Charley’s War “darkly spectacular” and Publisher’s Weekly said “Colquhoun's dark brushwork is lovingly detailed and horribly convincing.” Early in his comics career, he worked on Roy of the Rovers, Lion, and Tiger.
