Print: $10.20 Download: $1.50 Rebellion 1920 is a fictional work based on the history of British Royal Air Force during its control of early Iraq in the 1920s. The story focuses on the experiences of a young airman who has been posted to Iraq, as he comes to terms with the complications and morality surrounding the British occupation.
Famed British comic book writer, Pat Mills, calls Rebellion 1920:
"The only genuine successor to Charley's War and what that series stood for that I am aware of...
It's an awesomely researched story, enthrallingly written which totally held my attention. Steven Beeny shows remarkable courage in telling this story. It dramatises in fair, balanced and non-political way our shameful imperial past and and is tragically relevant to today. There are readers of Persepolis, Maus and Joe Sacco's work who will be interested in stories about Britain, too. This is the only one I know of that is out there."
