\u00a0Travel around Europe with my stepfather (family in England, conferences around Europe, including Germany, Czech, and Poland), drinking in lots of British comics (still do, but at that time I was reading war comics like Warlord and Victor, not to mention Hotspur and Wizard; the Brits in the 1970s still loved reliving the glories of the World Wars, and British comic books over the decades quite possibly killed cumulatively more Germans in print than on the battlefield), and watching movies like Airport (I had a longstanding fear of flying, what with either paranoid disaster flicks at the time or hijackings to Cuba).<\/p>\n<p>In this ten year old&#8217;s world, here&#8217;s what comes out in the wash: \u00a0A turboprop flys Heathrow to Russia, via Paris, and over Germany, where the Nazis of course attack and put the flight in jeopardy. \u00a0But of course, a hero emerges&#8230; and, well, read the comic. \u00a0At least they made it to Warsaw. \u00a0Enjoy. \u00a0There&#8217;s even a Christmas message at the end, meaning I made this as a present for my parents. \u00a0Arudou Debito<\/p>\n<p><a
