The Howlers find themselves in the balmy Mediterranean. They're assigned to escort a member of the Greek royal family back home in hopes of boosting the war effort against the invading fascist Italian forces.
Issue #33 features a notable guest star: Navy seaman Captain Simon Savage. Although he's still mysteriously referred to just 'The Skipper,' you get the feeling that Marvel has big plans for this character. In just 2 short years, he'll be leading his own squad of grunts. Sure, his spin-off won't last 2 full years. But that's more because of the demise in popularity of war comics and nothing personal against the seasoned helmsman.
If Savage's solo series is half as exciting as a Howling Commandos issue in which he guest stars, I really wanna get my hands on them on day!
Worth Consuming!
Rating: 9 out of 10 stars.
