Convict Commandos: Fatal Mission - Written by Alan Hebden. Art and Cover by Manuel Benet. Luck had been with the Convict Commandos since they had escaped from the Japanese in 1942. They had carried out the most perilous of missions with little more than bumps and bruises to show for it. But luck has a habit of changing suddenly, especially when it is pushed, and it certainly changed for the Convict Commandos as they flew to their next target. They had passed through dangerous skies before, but none quite as dangerous as those over Arnhem. Weekly British War comics digest. Softcover, 5 1/2-in. x 6 1/2-in., 68 pages, B&W.

'Sink the Wagner!' - Written by Alan Hebden. Art by Vila. Cover by Ian Kennedy. In 1942, over Canada, the last thing that the pilots of the Fleet Air Arm expected to see was a hostile aircraft. After all, the nearest enemy base was thousands of miles away. But that was exactly what the FAA boys did see -- for the Germans had constructed a carrier in secret and sailed it across the Atlantic to attack a vital Canadian port. Though outnumbered and outgunned, the Fleet Air Arm Martlet and Swordfish aircraft were not going to go out without a fight, and that hulking German aircraft carrier looked like a good target.

Reprinting Commando War Stories in Pictures (1961 D. C. Thomson Digest) #897: The Black Buzzard - Written by R.A. Montague. Art by Jose Maria Jorge. Cover by Ian Kennedy. Slowly, painfully, the three RAF Hurricanes staggered through the desert sky, desperately striving to reach home and safety. The wreck in the middle had a wounded pilot slumped over its controls, as near unconsciousness as makes no difference, and all that held his tattered plane in the air was the wingtips of his comrades' planes on either side. Mile by mile they struggled on, grimly, gallantly -- then came the sinister chatter of cannons and machine guns behind them. The Black Buzzard had arrived for a kill.

Sitting at the controls of a Heinkel 115 floatplane with a Commissar's pistol pressed to her neck, Lieutenant Yana Belinky had little choice but to follow his orders to return to the Soviet Union. In truth, though, she was quite pleased -- for, back in the Motherland, there would be a chance to hit back at the invaders of her country. All she had to do was stay alive long enough to get there!

It was said the men of the Airborne Division were afraid of nothing. But that wasn't strictly true. There was one man who could make a wary look come into their eyes, who could make their courageous hearts miss a beat...and he wore the same red beret as themselves.

Codename Crusher: The Hammer of Thor - Written by Mac MacDonald. Art by Jaume Forns. Cover by Janek Matysiak. By 1941, German-occupied Norway had become a safe haven for U-boats preying on the Arctic convoys taking vital war materials from Britain to the Soviet Union. One base in particular had proved impossible for the allies to neutralise by conventional means. That was why a special sabotage team was being dropped in. With the help of the locals, and a Polish naval officer, they hoped to do what waves of RAF bombers couldn't -- smash the base with the Hammer of Thor. Weekly British War comics digest.

Meteor Strike - Written by Steve Taylor. Art by Morahin. Cover by Ian Kennedy. Flight Lieutenant Tom Dempsey enjoyed flying his Spitfire. A peerless dog-fighter, it was also measured and reliable -- just like him. On the other hand, Flight Lieutenant Rusty Clark -- pilot of a sleek new Gloster Meteor, the RAF's first operational combat jet fighter -- thought the Spit belonged in the past. He and Tom were soon at loggerheads. Their personal rivalry had to be put to one side, though, when a new enemy to be reckoned with burned into the skies over Europe -- the Luftwaffe's Messerschmitt Me262 jet. Could the Spits and the Meteors work together to defeat this deadly threat? Weekly British War comics digest. Softcover, 5 1/2-in. x 6 1/2-in., 68 pages, B&W.

Ice and Fire - Written by Mac MacDonald. Art and Cover by Keith Page. For crewmen like Second Mate Alan Jones, the Merchant Navy convoys to the USSR are nerve-shredding voyages. Their every moment is filled with the realisation that, without any warning, a deadly attack can come from the skies, the sea...or beneath the icy, grey waves. And when their convoy does come under attack from a U-Boat commanded by a fanatical Nazi, the searing flames of war scorch the ice of the frozen North Atlantic. And sometimes, even Allies can't be trusted. Weekly British War comics digest. Softcover, 5 1/2-in. x 6 1/2-in., 68 pages, B&W.

Almost as soon as he joined up, his potential to become a top sniper was immediately spotted...and carefully nurtured.

In 1943, there wasn't a single matelot in the Royal Navy who hadn't heard of HM Submarine Dauntless. She'd sent more Japanese ships on the downward trip to Davy Jones' locker than any other vessel in the Pacific. Skipper of the Dauntless was the legendary "Mauler" Mathieson -- tough as the plates of steel that welded his sub together, and surly as a wounded bear. So when young Harry Barton was posted to the Dauntless, he reckoned he was just about the luckiest lieutenant in the Navy. But that was before he found out there could only be one officer aboard the Dauntless -- "Mauler" Mathieson himself! Weekly British War comics digest. Softcover, 5 1/2-in. x 6 1/2-in., 68 pages, B&W.

He was a tattered, gaunt giant of a soldier, the lone survivor of a blazing wreck in the desert...and the shock had robbed him of his memory. He knew two things only, his name -- O'Leary -- and that he had a grim hatred of Germans. But if O'Leary was a man of mystery, he was also a man of many talents. He could shoot like a sniper, command an armoured car, lay field guns, and he could fight -- like a tiger! When advancing German troops over-ran the desert like jackals, preying on helpless cut-off British patrols, herding the brave, beaten men into prison cages, someone should have warned the Germans...someone should have told them...that "The Tiger" was loose!

Why then did the Germans move heaven and earth to kidnap Stacey -- why did the Germans whip him away to Tripoli as a vitally important prisoner?

"Slim" Sothern, fighter pilot, floated in the Channel in his Mae West and cursed his rotten luck.

He was taken prisoner all right but inside a week, such strange and mysterious things had happened to Slim Sothern that he, and other RAF pilots like him, had been turned into a "squadron of the lost," and were flying Messerschmitts for the Germans against the British.

Miracle at Mons - Written by George Low. Art by Keith Page. Cover by Ian Kennedy. On the morning of 28 June 1914, two pistol shots fired in a Sarajevo street would plunge the world into the most destructive war it had ever known as a spider's web of alliances set Great Power against Great Power.

Nearer dead than alive, a dozen men of the Long Range Desert Group struggled on across the burning sands of the Western Desert. A Nazi plane had shot their trucks from under them. And then they heard the terrifying whine of the diving aircraft again, and the hammering of its machine guns made them seek desperately for cover. But there was none. Young Lieutenant Pete Strong saw every one of his men -- all his closest buddies -- mowed down before his eyes. At that moment, Pete made a vow that for every drop of British blood that was spilled, the Nazis would pay tenfold. This is Pete's story. Weekly British War comics digest.
