It should have been an honour to fly as wingman to Philip Templeton. Wasn't he "The Shark" -- the sleek, efficient, deadly fighter ace? His boyish charm and good humour had won him many admirers, so why feel uneasy? Could it be you saw the other side of the man -- the cold, calculating glory-hunter who let nothing stand in his way, even murder?

In the steaming jungles of Burma, man has a thousand enemies -- the wild animals, the snakes and poisonous insects, the deadly fevers. But the fighting British jungle patrols had an enemy more deadly that any of these -- the creeping Japanese soldiers who could appear from nowhere and sow the lead seeds of death before melting again into the waiting green background.

But their greatest battles came in the Second World War when they pitted horse and saber against Nazi tanks and machine guns.

    The 8.15 to Danger - Written by Alan Hebden. Art and Cover by John Ridgway. Railwaymen were in a reserved occupation during the Second World War as their particular skills were rated so highly.

Driver Arthur Beckinshaw and his fireman Ernie Entwistle were two such men, happy that they were "doing their bit" even though they weren't in uniform. Then they were sent to the Middle East, where they found that engine driving was a lot more dangerous than they could ever have dreamt. Weekly British War comics digest.

When the might of the German Blitzkrieg overwhelmed Poland at the beginning of World War II, Sergeant Adem Kozcki of the Polish Army found himself on the run with a survivor from the staff of a destroyed weapons development facility. They had reason to run, for a ruthless SS weapons expert was on their tails and would not stop until he found them. Why? Because he was after two highly-experimental machine guns rescued from the facility -- one of which had a devastating firing rate of 500 rounds per second. This wasn't rapid fire. This was...hyperfire! Weekly British War comics digest. Softcover, 5 1/2-in. x 6 1/2-in., 68 pages, B&W.
