This is my first issue of the old Men Of War series from the 70's. It's an alright book, but nothing too amazing about this title. It stars a black soldier who goes by the codename Gravedigger (i'll give you one guess what his military profession is). For some unknown (at least to me) reason, it's up to him to find these secret German plans. Gravedigger is aided by three British soldiers and attacks a German mini-sub in the Nile River. After fighting with the mini-sub, armed only with a knife and a rope, he wins the secret plans. Thanks though to the water of the river they are forever ruined and not good to either side now. Twist ending.....
There's also a back up story in this issue starring Rosa a spy from the 1800's. It's all a very far fetched story and not very believable in any sense, it's not even a war story so i'm not even going to write any more about it.
All in all the best thing about this book is the cover done by Joe Kubert.
