It was said the men of the Airborne Division were afraid of nothing. But that wasn't strictly true. There was one man who could make a wary look come into their eyes, who could make their courageous hearts miss a beat...and he wore the same red beret as themselves.

Codename Crusher: The Hammer of Thor - Written by Mac MacDonald. Art by Jaume Forns. Cover by Janek Matysiak. By 1941, German-occupied Norway had become a safe haven for U-boats preying on the Arctic convoys taking vital war materials from Britain to the Soviet Union. One base in particular had proved impossible for the allies to neutralise by conventional means. That was why a special sabotage team was being dropped in. With the help of the locals, and a Polish naval officer, they hoped to do what waves of RAF bombers couldn't -- smash the base with the Hammer of Thor. Weekly British War comics digest. Softcover, 5 1/2-in. x 6 1/2-in., 68 pages, B&W.

Ken Blight wrestled with the controls of the Horsa glider, trying to land safely while dodging the deadly streams of tracer flying all around.

But now it looked like he was in more danger than he could handle! Weekly British War comics digest. Softcover, 5 1/2-in. x 6 1/2-in., 68 pages, B&W.

Meteor Strike - Written by Steve Taylor. Art by Morahin. Cover by Ian Kennedy. Flight Lieutenant Tom Dempsey enjoyed flying his Spitfire. A peerless dog-fighter, it was also measured and reliable -- just like him. On the other hand, Flight Lieutenant Rusty Clark -- pilot of a sleek new Gloster Meteor, the RAF's first operational combat jet fighter -- thought the Spit belonged in the past. He and Tom were soon at loggerheads. Their personal rivalry had to be put to one side, though, when a new enemy to be reckoned with burned into the skies over Europe -- the Luftwaffe's Messerschmitt Me262 jet. Could the Spits and the Meteors work together to defeat this deadly threat? Weekly British War comics digest. Softcover, 5 1/2-in. x 6 1/2-in., 68 pages, B&W.

Just say the word "Salerno" to a British soldier...and watch his eyes. You'll see a sudden pride shine in them...for Salerno was the blood bath of the invasion of Italy, a bullet-torn beach-head that made every man who even landed on it a hero.

Ice and Fire - Written by Mac MacDonald. Art and Cover by Keith Page. For crewmen like Second Mate Alan Jones, the Merchant Navy convoys to the USSR are nerve-shredding voyages. Their every moment is filled with the realisation that, without any warning, a deadly attack can come from the skies, the sea...or beneath the icy, grey waves. And when their convoy does come under attack from a U-Boat commanded by a fanatical Nazi, the searing flames of war scorch the ice of the frozen North Atlantic. And sometimes, even Allies can't be trusted. Weekly British War comics digest. Softcover, 5 1/2-in. x 6 1/2-in., 68 pages, B&W.

When parachutists are going to land in enemy territory, they depend on the skill of the RAF pilot, for he is the one who gets the paras to their drop-zone through flak and bad weather.

Once a Tank Man... - Written by Mac MacDonald. Art and Cover by Keith Page. ...always a tank man.

But they escaped and found some unexpected allies, driving -- and fighting in -- a very special tank indeed! Weekly British War comics digest. Softcover, 5 1/2-in. x 6 1/2-in., 68 pages, B&W.

Dead Shot - Written by Dominic Teague. Art by Vila. Cover by Janek Matysiak. Young Jason Stringer was an excellent shot. Almost as soon as he joined up, his potential to become a top sniper was immediately spotted...and carefully nurtured.

But that would prove impossible when the Germans set their own super sniper against him. Weekly British War comics digest. Softcover, 5 1/2-in. x 6 1/2-in., 68 pages, B&W.

Reprinting Commando War Stories in Pictures (1961 D. C. Thomson Digest) #87: Crash Dive! - Written by David E. Bingley. Art by Victor de la Fuente. Cover by Chaco. In 1943, there wasn't a single matelot in the Royal Navy who hadn't heard of HM Submarine Dauntless. She'd sent more Japanese ships on the downward trip to Davy Jones' locker than any other vessel in the Pacific. Skipper of the Dauntless was the legendary "Mauler" Mathieson -- tough as the plates of steel that welded his sub together, and surly as a wounded bear. So when young Harry Barton was posted to the Dauntless, he reckoned he was just about the luckiest lieutenant in the Navy. But that was before he found out there could only be one officer aboard the Dauntless -- "Mauler" Mathieson himself! Weekly British War comics digest. Softcover, 5 1/2-in. x 6 1/2-in., 68 pages, B&W.

Blood Red Desert - Written by Alan Hebden. Art by Vila. Cover by Janek Matysiak. Stu McBride, decorated war veteran turned prospector, had quite often been in the wrong place at the wrong time.

This time he was in the middle of a top secret rocket range in the red centre of Australia with the Army and the Air Force after him. As if that wasn't enough, there was a bunch of heavily armed Soviet special forces men just dying to get their hands on him, too. Weekly British War comics digest.
