The British patrol deep in the desert could hardly believe their eyes when they saw the tattooed sergeant. He was lurching and staggering across the burning hot sand in the last stages of exhaustion...and there on his brow, tattooed a vivid purple, were four words -- "Too tough to kill."

And after they joined up, they were soon using bicycles once more -- as an integral part of the daring missions their Commando raiding team pulled off.

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!

They called him "The Misfit" -- and with good reason. For young Tony Stacey was such a blundering fool he had been kicked out of every branch of the British Forces. 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? What was so special about this dopey, meek-and-mild ex-RAF tail-gunner that they kept half the desert Luftwaffe on the ground until he arrived?

The narrow Channel between England and the Continent has always been vital to our safety. That was where Drake took on his enemies, the Spanish Armada -- and in the last war, it was where the little ships of the torpedo flotillas took on their German foes, sweeping them back from our shores.

Before that, though, things were different, as waves of foreign invaders rolled in over the seas. The Romans were amongst the first to arrive, but when their Legions began to withdraw, other warlike clans were quick to fill the power vacuum they left. Clans like the Saxon warriors who surged westwards in search of fresh conquests. It seemed the Eagles who did battle with the Romans would have to unsheathe their weapons afresh.
