D-Day Dodgers - Written by Alan Hebden. Art by Vicente Alcazar. Cover by Ian Kennedy. In 1944, someone named the servicemen in Italy the D-Day Dodgers; as though somehow the war they were fighting was a cushy number compared to the battles in France. Outraged, one national newspaper decided to expose these loafers once and for all. That's how reporter Perry Potter and his photographer Chalky White came to be standing on a freezing airfield in "sunny" Italy. The weather was just the first of the eye-openers the pair was going to see. Weekly British War comics digest. Softcover, 5 1/2-in. x 6 1/2-in., 68 pages, B&W.

Knight of the Eagles - Written by Ferg Handley. Art and Cover by Keith Page. England, 1405 AD. Peasants in Somerset wanted rid of the Allinghams, their feudal overlords.

Many of the locals, though, wondered if any of them would survive the explosive consequences of his scheme. Weekly British War comics digest. Softcover, 5 1/2-in. x 6 1/2-in., 68 pages, B&W.

Burden of Command - Written by Alan Hebden. Art and Cover by Carlos Pino. The accepted wisdom is that to command a group of fighting men, a leader needs to inspire. Sometimes he needs to inspire confidence, sometimes loyalty...and sometimes fear.

Then his chance came and Garry had to deal with...the burden of command. Weekly British War comics digest. Softcover, 5 1/2-in. x 6 1/2-in., 68 pages, B&W.

There was only one thing that Sergeant Jack Brett and his Matilda tank crew hated as much as the Germans, and that was a certain tank transporter crew from the Royal Army Service Corps. When they weren't fighting the one, they were fighting the other. And so, when all three met on the Egyptian desert, it meant trouble. But the handful of British soldiers had a big, big problem -- they had to stop the advance of a huge German column...with their single damaged Matilda and that one tank transporter!

After a "friendly fire" incident cost the lives of his comrades, Private Ron Allan clashed violently with a fellow paratrooper, Corporal Alec Brown, the man he held responsible. Tensions were still high between them when, en route to a drop zone, history repeated itself. Alec's Horsa glider smashed into Ron's, sending both spiraling downwards.

Flieger Abwehr Kanone -- a German mouthful that was shortened to "flak," a word dreaded by every Allied pilot. It meant anti-aircraft guns, those multi-barrelled cannon and deadly 88-millimetre guns that could blast attackers out of the sky. Every important target in Nazi Europe bristled with them. Mosquito pilot Terry Franklin had met his fair share of flak and it terrified him. Yet here he was in a new squadron whose job it was to attack only the most difficult targets!

The Eagles Strike! - Written by Ferg Handley. Art and Cover by Keith Page. The mid-17th century would turn out to be the most turbulent time in England's already tempestuous history. In summer 1642, a full-scale civil war erupted between the armies of the Royalist "Cavalier" and the Parliamentary "Roundheads."

Convict Commandos: Brilliant Death - Written by Alan Hebden. Art and Cover by Manuel Benet. The Convict Commandos are not known to do things the conventional way. Titch Mooney, Jelly Jakes, Smiler Dawson and Guy Tenby -- not forgetting their ruthless confederate Dr. Jane Mallory -- always get the jobs where conventional is not an option.

Sergeant Jim Stark was trying to lead a lost patrol of fellow Chindits back to safety through a jungle swarming with Japanese. A tight enough spot for any man, even worse for Jim who had lost his memory. But Jim didn't know the half of it. Among the men of that lost patrol was a man already wanted in England for murder, a man whose burning dark eyes bored into Jim's back every time it was turned, a man who had to kill the sergeant or die himself!

But would Captain Frank Draper and Sergeant Ollie Wentworth live long enough to deliver their vital reports? Weekly British War comics digest. Softcover, 5 1/2-in. x 6 1/2-in., 68 pages, B&W.
