5360: Trail of a Hero
Boasting one of Ken Barr’s greatest covers — recently featured in
Illustrator’s Quarterly, ‘Trail of a Hero’ is a throwback from the
Golden era of British comics. Action-packed from the very outset, this
issue has everything from Chindits to stolen identities in the jungles
of East Asia!
As the Luftwaffe lay bombs across the British landscape, Pinto Miller
and his family are caught up in the destruction. As his fellow Roma are
patched up, Pinto sets out for revenge against the Nazi onslaught, but
soon finds himself in the thick of the Burmese jungle, wreaking havoc on
the Japanese! Pinto’s techniques are definitely out of the ordinary,
but his skills are just the ticket in this fast-paced story of heroism
against the odds.

5361: Curse of the Condor
In a small Cornish village, there is a curse upon the name Jago — and
all who live there know it. Any who venture out to sea with that name
will be dashed against Trevelyan’s Rock, doomed to die… or so goes the
tale of a curse made by a drowning man hundreds of year
s ago. But it’s
1944 and the time for superstition is over on this RAF Rescue Launch…
until a Jago once again steps aboard!
Written by past Editor Calum Laird, and illustrated by renowned horror
artist Vicente Alcazar, this supernatural Commando is full of eerie
intrigue.

5362: Nowhere to Hide
A Silver age reprint from 1981, ‘Nowhere to Hide’ is another great cover
from the master, Ian Kennedy, as Bernard Gregg’s story follows
Lancaster rear gunner Jack Schofield, who is looking forward to some
well-earned leave. But when he finds himself forced to bail out over
occupied France, he never expects to wind up entangled in a murder
investigation between the Nazis and the French Resistance! With the
Mayor dead, Jack is on borrowed time to unveil the dastardly plot of the
evil Krantz and Von Kluger, but there is so much more than just one
man’s life at stake.
