A Tigers Tale - Written by George Low. Art by Vicente Alcazar. Cover by Ian Kennedy. "Tiger!" -- a cry that struck fear into many a soldier's heart during World War II. Little wonder when it meant that you were about to encounter 50-odd tons of armoured might, impervious to all but the heaviest weapons and with an 88mm gun whose shells could punch right through another tank from a mile away. Tanks, though, don't operate themselves -- they need crewmen. Crewmen like the five here who will tell you...a Tigers tale! Weekly British War comics digest. Softcover, 5 1/2-in. x 6 1/2-in., 68 pages, B&W.

Sam Hollis, a gunner, was no stranger to war. He had seen a lot of action, but even he had never come across anything like this -- a solitary Gurkha by the name of Ganju Pun preparing to hold off a heavy Japanese assault.
