Eagles over Flanders - Written by Ferg Handley. Art and Cover by Keith Page. When conscripted in November 1917, young Jack Carrick was willing to serve his country but reluctant to kill. Therefore, he joined the Royal Army Medical Corps and focused on saving lives instead of taking them. However, Jack's cowardly N.C.O., Corporal Fred Allingham, was determined to save only one life -- his own. As the Great War raged on, Allingham saw Jack as a threat to his secret agenda -- even more of a threat than the Germans who dealt death in the trenches and from the sky above.

Thundering across the desert wilderness came the savage band of Tuaregs -- veiled warrior horsemen. Suddenly their mounts faltered, shied and pulled up, to stand trembling. Amazed, the Tuaregs cocked their rifles and looked around for signs of an enemy. Nothing! Then, from beyond a high ridge ahead came again the strange, unearthly sound that had frightened their mounts. A kind of music, it seemed to be. They dismounted and crept over to the edge of the bowl-shaped depression. One by one their heads came up, until the hollow was ringed with them. Every Arab was pop-eyed at what he saw down there!

Five Mile Snipers - Written by George Low. Art and Cover by Carlos Pino.

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.

Into the Fire - Written by Stephen Walsh. Art by Vila. Cover by Janek Matysiak.

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 target was easy -- almost no anti-aircraft defences, as it was too far away for Allied bombers to get there and back.
