In "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.
