Chuck Ballard Goes to War - Written by Norman Adams. Art by Luis Olivera. Cover by Ian Kennedy. December 7th, 1941 -- America is left reeling from Japan's sneak attack on Pearl Harbor. For the Japanese crew of a Nakajima B5N2 "Kate" torpedo bomber, however, the success is short-lived. After crash-landing on a supposedly deserted island, they are dismayed to find that it is in fact home to a village full of civilians. Though the three Japanese airmen do not wish to take innocent lives, their fellow countrymen, responding to their mayday signal, are not so honourable. This may turn out to be their undoing, thanks to the presence of an ex-Marine who is an expert with a hunting rifle. Weekly British War comics digest. Softcover, 5 1/2-in. x 6 1/2-in., 68 pages, B&W.

The dull throb of the Dakota's engines pounded remorselessly in the paratroopers' ears as they filed in to their jumping order. Nobody spoke, nobody smiled, nobody spared a kindly glance for the next bloke in line. Lips were dry and taut, and eyes glowed with a mixture of determination...and fear!

Invasion Watch - Written by Mac MacDonald. Art and Cover by Carlos Pino. In the early days of the Second World War, men too young, too old or too infirm for the regular services flocked to join Britain's Home Guard to "do their bit." Because of this, the units were dismissed as a bit of a joke in some quarters. If those naysayers had listened to the conversation in one Home Guard headquarters on a night in 1940, though, they might have changed their minds. For as the men there shared their stories, it became very clear that they had fought, and would fight again. And fight like the demons they were. Weekly British War comics digest.

Hero in a Heli - Written by Steve Taylor. Art and Cover by Keith Page. It takes nerve and skill to hold a bucking, weaving Sea King in position over a casualty while one of your crewmates is winched down to try to pluck him to safety. Lieutenant Jamie Price had both these qualities, which helped make his crew one of the best in the business. Yet his brother Owen, a Sea Harrier pilot, ranked him only as a glorified bus driver, never missing a chance to sneer. He never dreamt that he'd have to trust his life to that bus driver in the hostile skies over the Falklands Islands. Weekly British War comics digest. Softcover, 5 1/2-in. x 6 1/2-in., 68 pages, B&W.
