5059: Home of Heroes: Target: ARMAGEDDON
After Germany surrendered in 1945, many Nazis fled to South
America, choosing to live out the rest of their days in peace, but one U-Boat
captain, Heinrich Kessler, had other ideas. Disgusted by his government’s
surrender, Kessler’s hate for western culture burned through the decades until
he decided to strike back. He might not be able to destroy his enemies – but he
would push them to destroy each other!
Now, in the heat of the Cold War, the Russian and American
navies must work together if they are to defeat a greater evil that threatens
the world…
Iain McLaughlin’s nautical narrative is filled with stunning
seascapes from Rodriguez and Morhain, who detail the various warships and
submarines that battle on and beneath the surface, carrying over from Janek
Matysiak’s moody submarine cover.

5060: Gold Collection: The Fighting Few
“No-one would deny that the Battle of Britain produced more
heroes than any other action of the Second World War.”
A Golden Age classic, ‘The Fighting Few’ follows three
pilots who formed one of the closest units the war had ever seen. Spending
every minute to spare in the air, Flying Officer Gavin Roberts’ team was nigh
on unstoppable. The only thing that held them back was Squadron Leader Connor,
who, duplicitous and cowardly, took every chance he could to run away – even at
the cost of another pilot’s life. So, facing Connor’s self-preservation and the
relentless Luftwaffe, Gavin’s trio must train and fight harder if they are to
survive and help Britain on the road to victory!
Bringing Maitland’s story to life, Gordon C. Livingstone
provides the cover and interior artwork, making it easy to see why his designs
are so beloved by comic fans.

5061: Action and Adventure: Fenshire Silver
Uncovering a crate of silver finery from French soldiers in
the Peninsula War, Fenshire Rifle Lieutenant Adrian Seacombe could not believe
his luck, that is, until he perished on his return to British soil. But that
silver would stay with the Seacombe line, eventually reaching his descendant
who fought with the Fenshire Rifles regiment in the Second World War. But does
this new Seacombe care more about the treasure than his men?
With art and cover design from Keith Page, George Low’s ‘Fenshire
Silver’ is an adventure through the ages, from flintlock face-offs in Spain
1810, to the iconic Lee Enfields of World War Two.

5062: Silver Collection: Time to Pay!
Sent to join the Italians at the front, Strumbannfuhrer
Gustav Braun was an evil and cowardly man. Panicking at the first sight of the
action he had avoided so far, he ordered a unit of Italians shot down so he
could steal their trucks and flee. But Captain Mario Celini would never forget
this. Even after Italy surrendered, Mario joined the Allied fighters to push
back the Nazis and maybe even get his revenge on Braun…
A different perspective on the war from K. P. MacKenzie,
this ‘90s classic builds the perfect villain before introducing us to the
heroes who will try to take him down. With beautiful depictions of the Italian
countryside in C. T. Rigby’s artwork and a striking cover from Ian Kennedy,
this is not one to miss!
