The backroom boffins seemed to be on to a real winner this time. They'd built some new rifles, high-powered ones which could strike at targets over three miles away! It was a bit different from a trusty Lee Enfield which could, with luck, propel a bullet just over a mile. So when Commando Captain Robert Terry saw these very long range weapons being tested, he knew just how they could be used. He didn't know what he was letting himself in for.

The Stranger from the Sea - Written by Mac MacDonald. Art and Cover by Keith Page. When the crew of a German MkVII U-boat picked up a body floating in the icy North Sea, they were amazed to find that somehow the man was still alive.

Hyperfire! - Written by Alan Hebden. Art by Rezzonico. Cover by Janek Matysiak. When the might of the German Blitzkrieg overwhelmed Poland at the beginning of World War II, Sergeant Adem Kozcki of the Polish Army found himself on the run with a survivor from the staff of a destroyed weapons development facility. They had reason to run, for a ruthless SS weapons expert was on their tails and would not stop until he found them. Why? Because he was after two highly-experimental machine guns rescued from the facility -- one of which had a devastating firing rate of 500 rounds per second. This wasn't rapid fire. This was...hyperfire! Weekly British War comics digest. Softcover, 5 1/2-in. x 6 1/2-in., 68 pages, B&W.

The powerful Japanese Army was island-hopping its ruthless way down through the South Seas towards Australia. Many a brave Aussie soldier, standing his ground in the green hell of the island jungles, was bulldozed into eternity by the sheer weight of the Nipponese army. And one Englishman in the Australian army was caught up in the desperate battle. Bob Palmer he was christened, but coward was the name they branded him with. Coward, the word that turns a man into the loneliest being on Earth, for what soldier seeks a coward for company?
