☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThe main story features Sarge Steel confronting the villain Mr. Ize, who has employed men to steal a jet bomber and drop a 4000-pound bomb on an oil refinery near Kuwait City as part of a scheme to profit from the resulting conflict. When Sarge discovers Mr. Ize's plan is too dangerous to allow to continue, he destroys the entire operation. The issue also includes a instructional feature on the Osoto Makikomi, a major outer winding throw technique in judo.
In the shadowy world of espionage, Sarge Steel finds himself targeted by a web of deadly operatives, each seemingly driven mad by a mysterious force. As he confronts Ivan Chung, The Lynx, and the enigmatic Werner von Wess, he begins to suspect that a hidden hand—Mr. Ize—is manipulating them all, using strange powers to bend minds and turn enemies into allies. With his own thoughts under siege, Steel must fight to reclaim his will before the mastermind’s plan unfolds.
Sarge Steel shares a lesson from his personal scrapbook, demonstrating key principles of judo with a focus on discipline, safety, and personal hygiene. A young trainee listens intently as Sarge emphasizes the importance of a clean uniform, trimmed nails, and removing jewelry before practice.
In a brief, instructional tale, a young woman demonstrates the Osoto Gari throw in judo, emphasizing proper technique, safety, and the importance of timing and leverage. The story unfolds as a practical guide to the move, with clear steps and warnings, framed as a training segment from a secret agent’s file.
A lone agent finds himself cornered in a foggy alley by a knife-wielding thug, forcing him to rely on his judo training to survive. Using quick reflexes and precise technique, he disarms the attacker and subdues him without lethal force, though he later reflects that a gun might have been easier.
