Issue Description

The two young officers had never seen anything like it. A huge German train bristling with guns and covered with armour plating...it was like a warship on wheels.

And, as they would discover, when that warship got steam up it was unstoppable - even if another train got in the way!

Introduction by Scott Montgomery, Deputy Editor.

This is a shining example of a Commando caper - a fast-moving yarn that literally starts with a bang (in this case a crashing B17 bomber) and never lets up during its 63 pages. The credit is due to writer Alan Hebden who created the many memorable characters here. There are escaping British POWs, surrendering Italian soldiers and an unlikely (and unlikeable) Nazi VIP - all brought to life by interior artist Denis McLoughlin. And there's an excellent, as always, cover from Jeff Bevan.

So, all aboard and full steam ahead for a first-class adventure romp!
