Commando #2171

In "Hair-Trigger," newspaper reporters Peter and Dick join military intelligence as war breaks out, finding themselves in North Africa after the fall of France. Sent to Cairo, Peter grows suspicious of a fellow officer, and when a mission behind enemy lines exposes the betrayal, he must escape captivity with the help of fellow escapee Smallshaw—carrying vital intelligence that could turn the tide. Written by Alan Lomas and illustrated by Gordon Livingstone, with a striking cover by Vilanova, this gripping tale blends wartime tension with personal stakes in a story where trust is as dangerous as the battlefield.
