Clash at Cambrai - 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 plunged the world into war. Three years later, the awful struggle had changed the face of Europe, and warfare, forever. First the machine gun and then the aircraft had brought the machine to the battlefield. Now it was the turn of another product of the arms industry to make its presence felt -- the tank. And caught up in all this was a young aircraftsman who had managed to get himself inside a tank. Question was, could he get out again? Weekly British War comics digest. Softcover, 5 1/2-in. x 6 1/2-in., 68 pages, B&W.

Hand of War - Written by Alan Hebden. Art by Jaume Forns. Cover by Janek Matysiak. After a year in India surveying railway routes, Royal Engineer lieutenants Tom Faraday and Freddy Chillingdon reckoned a hiking holiday in the country round Salzburg would be just the thing to break their journey home.

With complete disregard for himself and his navigator, Colin Hamble threw his Mosquito around the sky like a madman. His only thought was to ruthlessly kill his enemy.

Ambush in the Ardennes - Written by Ferg Handley. Art by Rezzonico. Cover by Janek Matysiak. When Lieutenant Alexandre "Lex" Mertens joined a Belgian Special Forces unit late in World War II, he knew he'd be in for a tough time -- hit-and-run raids in heavily-armed jeeps were never going to be easy. What he didn't expect was to be called on to defend a village full of civilians from rampaging German forces and to have to take command of his new comrades. He didn't know if he'd be up to the job but for the sake of the civilians and his own men, he was going to have to be. Weekly British War comics digest.

Desert Deception - Written by George Low. Art by Morahin. Cover by Janek Matysiak. Tony Borelli had been born in England but his parents were full-blooded Italians so, when World War II broke out, he looked likely to be detained in an internment camp with other foreign nationals. Tony, though, enlisted in the British Army and became part of a highly secret intelligence unit operating in the deserts of North Africa. His CO believed Tony's fluent Italian was an asset to the team and didn't consider his roots important. Unfortunately, not all Tony's comrades were as convinced that he could be trusted.
