The Miners of Messines - 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 had plunged the world into war and pitched men of all nations against one another. By 1917, men faced one another over a narrow strip of No-Man's-Land, unable to advance without incurring massive casualties. One group, though, could move across that gulf much more easily, for they were tunnellers who operated deep in the earth. Yet even they were far from safe. Weekly British War comics digest. Softcover, 5 1/2-in. x 6 1/2-in., 68 pages, B&W.

Danger on Board - Written by David Turner. Art by Rezzonico. Cover by Janek Matysiak. HMS Apollo was one of many Royal Navy destroyers which escorted vulnerable merchantmen as they steamed beyond the North Sea and across the dangerous waters off Northern Russia. Doubly dangerous, for the Germans seemed to know their every move, with an alarming number of ships being sunk by Kriegsmarine U-boats and destroyers. Midshipman Johnny Clark began to wonder if the enemy had some kind of help in obtaining their information. Surely none of the Apollo's men could be a traitor...could they?

The valley entrance was dominated by the rock carving of a huge tiger, poised as if guarding the pass. To the Japanese soldiers, it was a chilling reminder of the talk of the natives...that a giant man-eating tiger stalked these parts. But to their ruthless officer, this was nonsense.

Mistaken Identity - Written by Ferg Handley. Art by Vila. Cover by Janek Matysiak. Second-Lieutenant Ashley Windsor was a good-natured type but a bit naive and impulsive. Serving with an infantry regiment in India, he was the butt of many a joke amongst his fellow officers -- especially when he hinted that he was a (very) distant relative to Queen Victoria.

Out for Justice - Written by George Low. Art by Vila. Cover by Janek Matysiak. By summer 1945, the war in Europe was over but there was still much work for men like Military Police Lieutenant Grant Sim. He helped to keep the peace in a shattered Germany where danger lurked in the form of unexploded bombs, and crime was rife on its ravaged streets. Grant had unfinished business, too. His brother, an RAF pilot, had been callously executed after being shot down. Now, with an unlikely ally to aid him, the Redcap was poised to capture his brother's killer. He was...out for justice!

Mosquito pilot Bob Ross had been sent to kill a Nazi general. Already the mission had been cursed with bad luck and, of the three planes that had started out, only his Mossie was left.

The big four-engined bombers droned their way north over the sea, a few miles out from the Eastern coast of the USA. They kept tight formation, flying fast and low. If anyone had seen them, they would have been mistaken for American planes on a training flight...except that there was no one to see them. And this was deliberate, for they were Junkers 290s of the Luftwaffe -- and their target was New York. Weekly British War comics digest. Softcover, 5 1/2-in. x 6 1/2-in., 68 pages, B&W.

'Eagles, Arise!' - Written by Ferg Handley. Art and Cover by Keith Page. England, after 1066, was a violent place. As William of Normandy tightened his grip on the English throne, it was a time of war and great unrest. The incoming Norman forces ruled with an iron fist. One especially cruel member of the new ruling class was Roland of Alain -- who aimed to crush any resistance from those he regarded as peasant upstarts. One such "upstart" was Carrick. He and his band of rebels were determined to put up a fight against their oppressors. A fight to the death, if necessary. Weekly British War comics digest.

Once, twice, she bounced before she hit the icy water at terrifying speed. This was the second time young "Gusty" Bellows of the Fleet Air Arm had come off second-best to Kapitan Kreuzmann of the German Navy -- the ruthless Kreuzmann, with his submarine mother-ship, "Seewolf," bristling with guns, and his pack of U-boats. But Gusty was determined that next time it would be different -- if there was a next time. Weekly British War comics digest. Softcover, 5 1/2-in. x 6 1/2-in., 68 pages, B&W.
