The Sergeant and the Squad - Written by Ferg Handley. Art by Luis Olivera. Cover by Janek Matysiak. He was a tough loner, a veteran of the war in the Far East, a survivor of the terrors of the jungle and a hundred brutal fights against the Japanese. The last thing he wanted was to take a group of raw recruits under his wing. To them, he was more like a machine than a man...and a killing machine at that -- gruff, remorseless and cold. To them, he was the only man who could get them through the war. But some of those rookies worried that they'd end up just like...the Sergeant. Weekly British War comics digest.

This is the inside story of two ace British fighter pilots, and the strange and deadly rivalry that drove them to outfly, outshoot and outdare each other through every risky second of their dog-fights with the mighty Luftwaffe.

The Supermarine Walrus -- slow, lumbering and almost defenceless. Not much of a plane, you might think. But to the RAF Air/Sea Rescue service, these aircraft were priceless, plucking flyers and sailors from the sea, often in atrocious weather. As the pilot of one of these remarkable boats, Ted Brewer took all this in stride. But then the day came when he himself was in danger of drowning unless a Walrus came along to save his life!

Bert Johnson settled in the pilot's seat of the RAF fighter. He wasn't a pilot, but he revved the engine, taxied the plane to the runway, and took off. As he handled the unfamiliar controls and circled to gain height, he saw, coming straight at him, a crack Luftwaffe squadron.

The little island of Dinara, off the coast of Yugoslavia, hardly knew there was a war on. Sure, they were under German occupation, but all that meant was a weekly visit from a section of infantrymen who were supposed to look out for suspicious happenings.

It's not every day you see a German 88mm gun being operated by a group of "Fighting Kiwis" -- New Zealanders from a British and Commonwealth Expeditionary Force battling in Greece, determined to hold back the German onslaught. But this was not an everyday story. Thanks to a bungling SS officer, the Kiwis were able to help themselves to the enemy artillery's pride and joy.

After a few weeks in his new squadron of the RAF Regiment, Phil Adamson was beginning to wonder if this unit really was just for the defence of airfields. What with unarmed combat instruction, learning about explosives and a mock-raid on a local flying school, it was more like training for a crack Commando squad. He didn't know how right he was!

Too steady, they said, not quick enough to react. What they couldn't say was that he lacked nerve. And that was just as well because they gave him a Fairey Barracuda dive-bomber to fly into the teeth of flak and fighters. That took guts of a different kind altogether.

They called it the riskiest job in the RAF. To throw a big Beaufort torpedo bomber around the sky like a fighter-plane; to battle through flak and air attack right up to target; to roar in on your torpedo-run a bare 50 feet above the waves and lay your single "tinfish" right in the belly of a German warship...and then to fight your way back out of the flame and fury you've stirred up and bring your bomber and crew safe home. This was the job of a Beaufort pilot...and it took a special breed of hero to do it. Young Bill Overby was a Beaufort pilot, one of the best. He couldn't help becoming an ace. You see, it looked as if Bill didn't care about staying alive. Weekly British War comics digest. Softcover, 5 1/2-in. x 6 1/2-in., 68 pages, B&W.

With six-inch guns, torpedo tubes and a Freidrichshafen-33 floatplane to hunt out targets for her, the German commerce raider Valkyrie was feared by British merchant crews in the South Atlantic in the early years of the First World War. So much so that the Royal Navy sent an M-Class destroyer to track her down and destroy her. However, it was another, much more unexpected enemy that the Valkyrie's crew had to fear.

It was an old and priceless carving on an ebony staff, encrusted with fabulous jewels, used by an Arab tribe to call their brethren to battle.

Almost every man has a hero -- the one bloke in all the world he'd give his right arm to be like. Corporal Joe Brent's number one he-man was the big, granite-fisted American film-star Chet Marvin. In the days before the war, Joe queued up to see every movie he made, and marvelled at the sheer guts of the man. Then, one day in 1941, against a background of exploding German bombs and throbbing aero-engines, Corporal Joe Brent and his celluloid hero met face to face. It should have been the greatest day in Joe's life. But this was no Hollywood film set. This was war! And when the shot and shell are no longer blanks, it's easy to sort out the men from the boys.

Though it was known as "The Blooded Jewel," the island of Ula was a peaceful place, its name derived from spectacular sunsets and sunrises, not warfare. Sitting in the ocean west of Scotland's Outer Hebrides, the inhabitants were mainly fisher folk whose only enemies were the elements -- wind and sea. That all changed early in the First World War when a force of German raiders swarmed ashore. Caught up in the action were two schoolboys.

Karl Lubeck: Born Survivor - Written by Mike Knowles. Art and Cover by Keith Page. Karl Lubeck joined the German Army more or less by accident. He really wanted to be a civil servant and the Wehrmacht soon found out that he would have been much better suited to bureaucracy than battlefield.

Yet Karl would be the man who did what no other German officer managed...and lived to tell the tale. 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) #97: Mountain Gun - Written by Eric Hebden. Art by Gordon Livingstone. Cover by Ken Barr. Sergeant George Lister was a gunner who didn't know much about fancy talk and smart saluting. He was a bit lost when men spoke of tactics, of fast-moving mobile artillery, of the intricate calculation needed to work out long-range bombardments. But when the going got rough and his troop was left alone and on foot to drag a ton of gun up the sheer face of a mountain behind enemy lines -- then! -- it was George's massive shoulders, raw courage and bull-roar of command that drove every man to sweat blood doing the impossible!
