When soldier Andy Drew fakes his death to escape a Japanese prison camp, he must survive the jungle and join a guerrilla band to find his way back to Allied forces. The cover by Sam Glanzman captures the tension and desperation of the mission.
In "Guadalcanal," the U.S. Marines land on the island with the expectation of a swift victory, only to find themselves entrenched in a brutal four-month fight for survival. The story captures the raw intensity of war as exhaustion, isolation, and relentless combat test the resolve of every man on the front lines.
In "Strike the Fighter Fields!", British pilots face a desperate new threat as Germany turns its focus to destroying airfields and factories. With the skies under renewed assault, they must master a bold new dogfighting tactic to hold the line—before the air war shifts irrevocably.
Andy Drew’s desperate bid for freedom begins with a terrifying ruse—faking his death to slip through the cracks of a Japanese prison camp. Buried alive and left for dead, he emerges to join a hidden guerrilla band, their mission to strike back behind enemy lines. As he fights to survive and find his way back to Allied forces, every step is a gamble against death and betrayal.
