Johnny Red: A Couple of Heroes - (Garth Ennis's Johnny Red) by Garth Ennis (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

The final Johnny Red story, an action-packed air ace adventure, yet filled with pathos appropriate for a fitting send-off to one of the most popular characters in British comics. Written by Garth Ennis (The Boys, Preacher), a story that he has waited 30 years to tell.

One final adventure for Johnny Redburn as World War II comes to a close. And with many of his fellow pilots dead, Johnny has become even more dangerous and risk-taking. When an old flight-school friend, now an officer, asks him to lead a mission to stop a new type of weapon, one which will affect how future wars are fought, how can he refuse.

Along the way Johnny will face off against his nemesis one last time, a pilot who has lost everything because of the war, and someone will not back down from this final aerial duel.

Written by Garth Ennis (The Boys, Preacher), and drawn by Keith Burns (Battle Action, Out of the Blue).
