Then, there was his brother, Colin -- just a war correspondent, not a fighting soldier. He'd never be half the man Harry was, they said. Even though he got himself on a desperate mission to the district in Malaya where his brother had disappeared...but they didn't really know Colin Andrews. Weekly British War comics digest.

Marc was a mild-mannered watchmaker -- the occupying German garrison had used his skills to mend various timepieces dotted around their base. Meanwhile, his younger brother, Bernard, was a member of the local French Resistance and he had begun to wonder if Marc was getting too friendly with the Nazis. That was the least of Bernard's worries, though. During a shoot-out at a ruined churchyard, he wondered if he was finally...out of time! Weekly British War comics digest.

One man held the key to the operation called by the codeword "TORCH" -- the huge Allied invasion of North Africa. His name was Pete Macrory, a Canadian in the Royal Engineers -- and nobody trusted him an inch. To find out why, and what made Pete tick in his own peculiar way, you had to go way back to General Wolfe's attack on Quebec in 1759. That's when a distant ancestor of Pete's, young Jock Macrory, was involved in a deadly adventure of his own. Weekly British War comics digest. Softcover, 5 1/2-in. x 6 1/2-in., 68 pages, B&W.

Time after time, one British company outsmarted the Germans in Crete. If the Nazis planned a sneak-raid and began it five miles away, the British knew at once -- and were ready for them. If a Stuka dive-bombing attack was decided on, they got into hiding an hour before it began. They knew exactly when to counter-attack, too. How was it done? If anyone had told the Germans, they just wouldn't have believed it. The secret lay in a strange invisible link between Private Bill Roberts and his twin brother, Jack.

Home Front Heroes - Written by George Low. Art by Morahin. Cover by Ian Kennedy. The crew of a Boulton Paul Defiant night-fighter were puzzled. Why was an Airspeed Oxford trainer aircraft flying above England under cover of darkness? The gunner wondered if perhaps something secretive was going on. How right he was. But there was no way that he could have known that the Oxford was being flown by a German crew, and was an integral part of an audacious plan by the Nazis to snatch back one of their spies. At times, the Home Front was almost as dangerous as the Front Line. Weekly British War comics digest. Softcover, 5 1/2-in. x 6 1/2-in., 68 pages, B&W.

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.

They had been tasked with engaging the Japanese on Mono Island in the South Pacific. Their superior officer, Lieutenant Jeff Danten, was not keen on mortars, seeing them as a waste of time compared to a decent machine-gun. It didn't help that Danten was also impatient and reckless, too eager to get into battle without decent tactics. It looked like the Mortar Boys had more than just the enemy to worry about.
