The Pillbox

On holiday in Suffolk, a boy and his dog discover a World War II pillbox half buried on a deserted beach. When he returns the next day with his parents, the pillbox has disappeared. They learn that there had been a pillbox there and a boy had once been found in it, dead. 1945, another boy, another dog, the same pillbox… and an American serviceman from the local base. Murder, treachery, a terrible secret… David Hughes’ second graphic novel is a haunting ghost story — dark, disturbing and — as always with Hughes — stunningly drawn.
