Reprinting Commando War Stories in Pictures (1961 D. C. Thomson Digest) #84: Hero from Hollywood - Written by Eric Hebden. Art by Jones. Cover by Alvaro. Almost every man has a hero -- the one bloke in all the world he'd give his right arm to be like. Corporal Joe Brent's number one he-man was the big, granite-fisted American film-star Chet Marvin. In the days before the war, Joe queued up to see every movie he made, and marvelled at the sheer guts of the man. Then, one day in 1941, against a background of exploding German bombs and throbbing aero-engines, Corporal Joe Brent and his celluloid hero met face to face. It should have been the greatest day in Joe's life. But this was no Hollywood film set. This was war! And when the shot and shell are no longer blanks, it's easy to sort out the men from the boys.

The Battle of Blood Island - Written by Alan Hebden. Art and Cover by Keith Page. Though it was known as "The Blooded Jewel," the island of Ula was a peaceful place, its name derived from spectacular sunsets and sunrises, not warfare.

That all changed early in the First World War when a force of German raiders swarmed ashore. Caught up in the action were two schoolboys. Upon them depended the outcome of...the battle of Blood Island! Weekly British War comics digest. Softcover, 5 1/2-in. x 6 1/2-in., 68 pages, B&W.

But when the going got rough and his troop was left alone and on foot to drag a ton of gun up the sheer face of a mountain behind enemy lines -- then! -- it was George's massive shoulders, raw courage and bull-roar of command that drove every man to sweat blood doing the impossible!

To a Japanese naval crew, there was no more terrifying sight than a Bristol Beaufort torpedo-bomber attacking at wave-top height, a deadly torpedo just dropping from the plane's belly.

Reprinting Commando War Stories in Pictures (1961 D. C. Thomson Digest) #58: Tattooed Hero - Written by Eric Hebden. Art by Francisco Cueto. Cover by Ken Barr. The British patrol deep in the desert could hardly believe their eyes when they saw the tattooed sergeant. He was lurching and staggering across the burning hot sand in the last stages of exhaustion...and there on his brow, tattooed a vivid purple, were four words -- "Too tough to kill." How true those words turned out to be, for Sergeant Harry Tyler had the guts to turn round and search the desert to find again the enemy who had tried to make him look a fool before his friends...and the last grim laugh was Harry's.

Reprinting Commando War Stories in Pictures (1961 D. C. Thomson Digest) #95: Double-Cross! - Written by I.B. Kellie. Art by Matias Alonso. Cover by Chaco. Young Lieutenant Jim Whitney was a fire-eating paratrooper who asked nothing better than to be dropped where the Nazis were thickest. The more there were around, the more he could shoot, Jim reckoned. When it came to fighting, you couldn't blame Jim for thinking his middle-aged scientist father was a bit past it. "Boffins" belonged in their laboratories. Yet in their most dangerous raid to date, to find out about the new German radar detectors in Sicily, Jim only discovered after he'd hit the ground that the VIP who dropped with them to steal the German secrets was none other than his own peace-loving Dad...and that was when the fighting really started.

The Black Devils - Written by Mac MacDonald. Art by Olivera. Cover by Janek Matysiak. The Germans called them The Black Devils -- the men who moved through the night to strike swiftly and silently, seemingly at will. And although the name could have been because of the black camouflage paint they wore on their faces, it could equally well have described the black fear they struck into their enemies' hearts.

Then, out of the blue, came a slim chance for freedom...if only they could out-pedal an old adversary. Weekly British War comics digest. Softcover, 5 1/2-in. x 6 1/2-in., 68 pages, B&W.

Mission: Berlin - Written by Mike Knowles. Art and Cover by Janek Matysiak. Berlin had been a battleground throughout the Second World War -- first as Allied bombers pummelled the heart of Hitler's Reich, then later as Soviet forces overran the city. After Germany's surrender, the city was divided up amongst the Allies and, slowly but surely, tensions rose until the city became a battleground once more. Perhaps there were not the pitched battles of previous years, but the skirmishes could be just as deadly...as Captain Tony Hibbert of the Parachute Regiment discovered when he was sent to join the curiously named BRIXMIS.
