Rebellion’s Archives

Soldiers of Oxfordshire Museum

Into Battle! Our next exhibition is coming soon

The exhibition, featuring original comic artwork on public display for the first time, tells the story of war comics decade by decade. From satirical comic strips and patriotic illustrated story papers of 19th Century and early

20th Century, to the revolutionary comics of the 1970s, which presented much more gritty, authentic and emotionally-charged stories.

Drawing on Rebellion’s extensive archives, the exhibition features artwork from the very best of British comics - taking in spectacular covers and action-packed panels from the War Picture Library, Battle Picture Weekly and Battle Action.
