ho! In the dark days of World War II, the sceptered isle of England stood
alone against a rising tide of Nazi beastliness. But with the Hun at its
door and the sun about to set on old Blighty, who can king and country call
upon to put the starch back in its upper lip? Only one team has the goolies
for it - The Rifle Brigade! Mad as lords and more violent than a pack of
Jack the Rippers, this elite commando team stands ready to do its bit against
the Boche - namely, slaughtering them at the drop of a winerschnitzel. And
now you can join the fun as Captain Darcy, "Doubtful" Milk, Sergeant
Crumb, Corporal Geezer, Hank the Yank and The Piper give Uncle Adolf and
his brown-shirted bounders the thrashing they so richly deserve! First,
gasp in awe as the Brigade braves the dungeons of the Gestapo and the mighty
bosom of a Nazi torturess on a mission so deadly, so crucial, so utterly
top secret that even they don't know what they're up to! Then bite your
nails to the quick as our plucky chaps valiantly track down a certain vital
part of Hitler's anatomy in the Eisner Award-winning "Operation Bollock."
With the outcome of the war at stake, can they wrench the Fuhrer's famously-missing
gonad from the hands of their oldest enemy? Or is the "Nazi Knacker"
destined to become the ultimate Weapon of Mass Destruction? Find out here,
and give a cheer! Hurrah for the Rifle Brigade!]
