Reprinting Commando War Stories in Pictures (1961 D. C. Thomson Digest) #198: The Great Escape - Written by W. Spence. Art by Victor de la Fuente. Cover by Scholler. Ted Malloy knew him as Corporal Don Granger of the Australian Army -- his best pal, young, dark-haired and full of spirit. The Kachins, a Burmese tribe, knew him as "Urgu" -- their Holy Man, chief and river god, tall with a lined face, bronzed skin, a mop of snow-white hair, and no memory of any past. Ted and Don were the only two men ever to escape from "Death Valley," the dreaded Japanese labour camp, where men died by inches under the blazing sun and the whips of the guards. The tale of how Ted got clear and how Don became Urgu truly is a thrilling one. Weekly British War comics digest. Softcover, 5 1/2-in. x 6 1/2-in., 68 pages, B&W.
