Reprinting Commando War Stories in Pictures (1961 D. C. Thomson Digest) #1354: Legend of the Longbow - Written by Mary Feldwick. Art by Ibanez. Cover by Ian Kennedy. It is said that if the British troops at Waterloo had used longbows instead of muskets, they would have won the battle far more quickly. In the hands of an expert, the longbow is a fearful weapon with its accuracy, range and rate of fire. And it is almost completely silent. Tim Rollins was an expert, and he passed his knowledge on to his secret group of French Resistance fighters. From now on, not one of the enemy soldiers in his area of France could ever feel safe.

The 8.15 to Danger - Written by Alan Hebden. Art and Cover by John Ridgway. Railwaymen were in a reserved occupation during the Second World War as their particular skills were rated so highly. That didn't mean they didn't have to work hard or that they could dodge danger -- there were always trains to haul and air raids were a constant hazard. Driver Arthur Beckinshaw and his fireman Ernie Entwistle were two such men, happy that they were "doing their bit" even though they weren't in uniform. Then they were sent to the Middle East, where they found that engine driving was a lot more dangerous than they could ever have dreamt. Weekly British War comics digest.

The backroom boffins seemed to be on to a real winner this time. They'd built some new rifles, high-powered ones which could strike at targets over three miles away!

So when Commando Captain Robert Terry saw these very long range weapons being tested, he knew just how they could be used. He didn't know what he was letting himself in for.

When the might of the German Blitzkrieg overwhelmed Poland at the beginning of World War II, Sergeant Adem Kozcki of the Polish Army found himself on the run with a survivor from the staff of a destroyed weapons development facility. They had reason to run, for a ruthless SS weapons expert was on their tails and would not stop until he found them. Why? Because he was after two highly-experimental machine guns rescued from the facility -- one of which had a devastating firing rate of 500 rounds per second. This wasn't rapid fire. This was...hyperfire! Weekly British War comics digest. Softcover, 5 1/2-in. x 6 1/2-in., 68 pages, B&W.

Invasion Watch - Written by Mac MacDonald. Art and Cover by Carlos Pino. In the early days of the Second World War, men too young, too old or too infirm for the regular services flocked to join Britain's Home Guard to "do their bit." Because of this, the units were dismissed as a bit of a joke in some quarters. If those naysayers had listened to the conversation in one Home Guard headquarters on a night in 1940, though, they might have changed their minds. For as the men there shared their stories, it became very clear that they had fought, and would fight again. And fight like the demons they were. Weekly British War comics digest.
