By Ted Nomura. AP Core Title! "Pikadon"?In real history, the two American A-bombs were an instrumental tool in ending the war, giving the Japanese government the excuse they needed to secretly conclude the Pacific war before the Soviets had a chance to invade Japan. In this new series, based on the popular Luftwaffe/WWII: 1946 titles created by Ted Nomura, the new front focuses on the Japanese war to defend itself against an all-out Allied invasion, so big that it would dwarf the D-Day invasion of Europe a year earlier. In this alternate history, Oppenheimer is killed in a freak car accident in Germany before the war, and with the American atomic program delayed, the Japanese succeed in creating their own A-bomb to use as a new Kamikaze tactic. Bimonthly. FC, 24pgs. Cover price $2.95.

By Ted Nomura. AP Core Title! "Queens of the Seas": In 1945, the United States Navy suffered its biggest crisis of survival due to the intense Japanese Kamikaze attacks. The kamikazes' main targets were the fleet carriers, better known to most as the "Queens of the Seas." Although the U.S. Navy's submarine forces were providing a most valuable "silent service" by sinking more than 50% of the enemy ships using less than 10% of their naval strength, it was the American aircraft carriers that took the brunt of the Japanese attention due to their high visibility. Their escort ships often sacrificed themselves to draw the enemy fire away from the primary target. No chapter in history displayed such courage under fire as when enemies committing suicide to achieve their mission were so alien to the men who faced them. In this alternate-1946 history, the invasion of Japan placed the carriers in even more danger. Three new armored-deck Midway-class carriers can only slow down the steel-plated rain of blood and guts. Bi-monthly. b&w, 24pgs. Cover price $2.95.

By Ted Nomura. AP Core Title! Kamikaze is usually identified with the Japanese suicide planes of World War II. Less known are the volunteers of the underwater version of the suicide machines, but the best known of these are the Kaitens. Converted from the best torpedoes of the war, the Japanese Type 97's, they emerged as manned torpedoes capable of sinking a battleship with one good hit. Introduced too late to have any real effect compared to their airborne cousins, thousands of them were made in preparation for the expected Allied invasion of Japan, an invasion that never came in real history. In this alternate history, the Kaitens are released in full fury and result in the heavy casualties that we prevented. FC, 24pgs. Cover price $2.95.
