Reprinting Commando War Stories in Pictures (1961 D. C. Thomson Digest) #1052: No Way but Down - Written by McLean. Art by Gordon Livingstone. Cover by Ian Kennedy. If you're an army glider pilot, you've got a dodgy job -- landing yourself and your troops in the teeth of anything the enemy throws at you. Hazardous at the best of times, it's grimly suicidal when thick flak is coming up, the exploding shells chucking your frail Horsa all over the sky. If an unlucky burst cuts your tow-rope long before you reach your landing ground, there's only one way to go -- down...and fast! Weekly British War comics digest. Softcover, 5 1/2-in. x 6 1/2-in., 68 pages, B&W.

Five Mile Snipers - Written by George Low. Art and Cover by Carlos Pino. It was the ultimate insult, being called "Five Mile Snipers" -- with a sneering tone, this phrase accused artillery gunners of being tucked safely out of harm's way, a large distance from the front line. After a run-in with an American Army Ranger officer, Sergeant Stan Wilkins, who was in charge of a battery of 25-pounder guns, certainly resented the implication that he and his new crew were cowards. Stan was determined to disprove this and embarked on a deadly mission to hunt down a group of ruthless German paratroopers. Weekly British War comics digest. Softcover, 5 1/2-in. x 6 1/2-in., 68 pages, B&W.

They were Fleet Air Arm pilots on a carrier -- Mike Scott, "Frenchy" Lafarge and the giant Red Knight. In the air, they made a great team, but then their carrier was damaged, and they were forced to land with empty tanks on a desert island! Mike wanted to organise the warlike natives into a private army to fight the Japanese occupying the island. Big Red flexed his powerful hands and wanted to carry on his own personal feud against the enemy. Poor Frenchy didn't know who to follow.

Into the Fire - Written by Stephen Walsh. Art by Vila. Cover by Janek Matysiak. After a series of misadventures, US Army mechanic Justice Wade somehow found himself serving with a Soviet Penal Company armoured unit. His Matilda tank was one of a group of vehicles deemed expendable enough to act as decoys to draw the fire of their enemy, fearsome German Panther tanks. To make things even more dangerous, Justice had been promoted from mechanic to driver and he had no combat experience. He and his rag-tag crew were thrust into the fire of battle -- and there was every chance that they would crash and burn. Weekly British War comics digest.

The mission was simple -- bomb a Polish refinery making vital cold-weather fuel additives for the German army. The target was easy -- almost no anti-aircraft defences, as it was too far away for Allied bombers to get there and back. Thus was launched one of the most daring adventures of the war -- a game of bluff and double-bluff, as Major Barry Crofton and a small band of Free Polish troops tried to ensure that the bombers would fly home again once their job was done.

Reprinting Commando War Stories in Pictures (1961 D. C. Thomson Digest) #227: Showdown! - Written by W. Spence. Art by C.T. Rigby. Cover by Lopez Espi.

Then, there was his brother, Colin -- just a war correspondent, not a fighting soldier. He'd never be half the man Harry was, they said. Even though he got himself on a desperate mission to the district in Malaya where his brother had disappeared...but they didn't really know Colin Andrews. Weekly British War comics digest.
