5167: Home of Heroes: Dangerous Investigations
Story | Heath Ackley | Art | Jaume Forns | Cover | Neil Roberts

Lieutenant John Weller was like a bloodhound when he was on a case. From his early years as a police detective, solving high‑class robberies, to being a military policeman on the trail of a smuggling ring in the British Army - nothing could stand between him and his investigation… not even a little thing called World War Two. 


This tenacity would take Weller right into the German invasion of France in 1940. But Weller was going to get his suspect - no matter how dangerous the investigation.

For Sergeant Bill Kane this was the last straw.

Bill had run up against "Black Schneider" - Nazi Major Schneider and his mobile desert commandos - the most feared striking force in the desert. Schneider squashed Bill's little force as carelessly as he'd have squashed a beetle under his gleaming black jackboots.

A solid year of bad luck had made Bill's platoon shunned like the plague. Joining it seemed like asking for a one‑way ticket to perdition. And now they faced Schneider. There was only one way for Bill to change things. Get out, then find and smash the Black Schneider!
