High Speed Rescue - Written by Mac MacDonald. Art by Rezzonico. Cover by Janek Matysiak. Growing up in Malaya, young Sam Logan dreamed of being a pilot. He volunteered for the RAF as soon as war broke out -- only to be washed out of flying training thanks to the dizziness that overcame him every time he took to the air. He ended up on an RAF Air-Sea Rescue Launch, patrolling the choppy grey waters of the Channel. Almost as much as he did himself, Sam's crewmates wondered if the reluctant sailor was up to this dangerous work. Their very survival depended on him working as part of a team...especially when there were E-boats on the prowl. Weekly British War comics digest. Softcover, 5 1/2-in. x 6 1/2-in., 68 pages, B&W.

Reprinting Commando War Stories in Pictures (1961 D. C. Thomson Digest) #13: Death in the Sun - Written by Eric Castle. Art by Amador Garcia. Cover by Ken Barr. Just another routine patrol, just another empty village in the Burmese jungle. Nothing to fear, every hut silent, deserted, no movement in the shadows, no sound on the still, sultry air. Everything calm and peaceful. Why then did fingers tighten nervously on triggers, why did the cold sweat of fear break out on every man's brow? It was as if some sixth sense was telling them of terrible danger, of a fiendish trap waiting to be sprung. It only needed one man to see the sudden glint of death in a darkened doorway, to scream a warning...a warning that came too late! Weekly British War comics digest. Softcover, 5 1/2-in. x 6 1/2-in., 68 pages, B&W.
