| |
| When Sir Francis Drake sailed into Cadiz harbour and attacked the |
| Spanish fleet they said he had singed the King of Spain's beard. |
| |
| Now meet Nick Corrigan, who sailed into an enemy-held harbour and |
| burned the black whiskers off Hitler's face. And all he had to do it |
| with was the "Nelly", a rusty old minesweeper. |
| |
| At least that's what she looked like. Pound for pound, though, this |
| vicious little tub was the most heavily-armed ship in the Royal Navy. |
| Introduction |
| |
| I don't want you to be misled by this cover so I'm |
| telling you now that this ISN'T an air story. That, though, is the end |
| of the bad news because this is a smashing (pun intended) naval story |
| to rival any pirate yarn from any age. Add in a classic "stuffed shirt" |
| as a second enemy and you have a classic. |
| |
| Sostres art I have commented on before, pointing out that his |
| treatment of line and shading makes for as excellent night scenes as |
| daylight ones. Once again he doesn't disappoint. |
| |
| Ken Barr's cover is the icing on the cake of this mini-classic. But |
| that's just my opinion, you can decide for yourself. |
