"Darkie's Mob" is a British comic war story published in the weekly anthology Battle Picture Weekly from 14 August 1976 to 18 June 1977 by IPC Magazines. Set during World War II, the story follows a rogue unit led by the uncompromising Joe Darkie, operating in Burma behind Japanese lines. Written by John Wagner and drawn by Mike Western, the strip was told through a bloodstained notebook recovered from the Burmese jungle in 1946.
