Volume 2 - 1st printing. " B-26 Marauder Units of the Eighth and Ninth Air Forces!" Written by Jerry Scutts. Art by Tom Tullis. The medium bomber 'workhorse' of the Ninth Air Force, Martin's much-maligned B-26 Marauder recovered from its poor start with the Eighth Air Force to go on and equip no less than eight bomber groups in the ETO. Although initially dubbed 'the widow maker', a change of tactics from low- to medium-level bombing for the Marauder soon improved the crews' chances of survival - indeed, by war's end it boasted a lower loss-per-sortie ratio than any other twin-engined bomber in the USAAF. This volume covers all aspects of Marauder operations in Western Europe, featuring first hand accounts from surviving B-26 crews, plus an analysis of the tactics employed. Softcover, 98 pages, PC/PB&W. Cover price $22.95.

Written by Natsume Akatsuki. Art and cover by Kakao Lanthanum. Translated by Noboru Akimoto.

It's been pure chaos ever since Six hit the scene, earning himself a slew of unsavory nicknames such as "The Fly." Snow's been no better, running herself deep into debt with every loan she takes out to feed her sword addiction. Meanwhile, the people of the Kingdom of Grace are experiencing a severe water shortage because no one can bring themselves to use the weather machine, still locked behind the activation phrase that Six changed to "Dick Festival."

To make up for it, Tillis sends Six to a neighboring country to collect magical water-producing stones...and somehow, he causes the country to declare war. How exactly does that fit into the plan for world domination...?
