Issue Description

Two men on a mission of doom. Two sinister black shadows pulling themselves silently out of the water. Half of their job had been done. Now the other half awaited them. The sentries must not see them, must not hear them. Closer and closer they crept, through the icy darkness. Now they were only yards away…

Introduction

Deputy Ed Scott is on holiday this week so I get to tell you about the latest addition to our Silver Collection. If the quality of menace in this story's cover is more than silver, though, it's Ian Kennedy at his Gold Star best. I don't know about you, but I almost feel sorry for the two Germans the pair of Royal Marine frogmen are creeping up on.

Cracking title, too, much better than the very matter-of-fact "Frogmen" working title. That didn't do Mr Daniel's story any favours. Gordon Livingstone's artwork does, though. It's action all the way in a style all his own.

Scott doesn't know what he missed! You won't tell him, will you?
