War Picture Library #[4]

In "Night of the Devil," British troops push through the oppressive jungles of Burma during WWII, led by weary Lieutenant Robert Salter. As the patrol stumbles upon an ancient temple in the heart of the wilderness, the silence that follows feels less like relief and more like anticipation. Written by Tom Tully and illustrated with haunting detail by Hugo Pratt—whose distinctive pencils and inks define both the interior art and the cover—this issue blends wartime grit with an eerie, unfolding mystery.
