☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "They Strike By Night!", Jack Shane finds himself deep in the trenches of WWI, thrust into a perilous mission with a squad whose language he doesn’t understand—leaving him isolated and vulnerable as danger lurks in the shadows. Written by Colin Dawkins and brought to life with gritty detail by artist John Severin, this tense wartime tale captures the uncertainty and courage of a soldier far from home. The cover by Russ Heath perfectly captures the mood, with stark, shadowed figures on a moonlit battlefield.
In "Kitchener's Mob," Jack Shane joins the British war effort during World War I, drawn by the call to arms from the legendary Kitchener. Sent to France with a squad whose language he doesn’t understand, he finds himself in a foreign world where loyalty and courage are tested in silence.
In the grim aftermath of battle, Private Scheibel confronts the cost of survival when a wounded American soldier makes a desperate choice to save him, forcing a reckoning on the front lines of WWII. A quiet moment of humanity cuts through the chaos, revealing the fragile line between fear and courage.
