Battler Britton and the Menace of The M-Men & the Sword of Ram-Ka from Knockout (1962-1963) - Compiled and edited by H. C.

 "The Menace of the 'M' Men" and "The Sword of Ram-Ka" are two classic, serialized comic storylines featuring the iconic British World War II flying ace, Wing Commander Robert "Battler" Britton. 

Originally published in the UK weekly comic magazine Knockout during the early 1960s, these specific adventures represent a unique "purple patch" for the character, where his traditional realistic military exploits dipped into more fantastic, pulp-adventure territory. 

1. The Menace of the "M" Men

• Original Publication: Knockout (serialized from November 3, 1962, to January 5, 1963). 
• Plot Details: Shifting away from standard historical dogfights, this story leans into sci-fi and speculative pulp elements. Battler Britton encounters a bizarre, advanced threat dubbed the "M-Men," which involves robotic or mechanical monstrosities ("La menace des robots"). 
• Collected Editions: This 27 pages story was later reformatted and reprinted in the Valiant Annual 1969 under the title Battler Britton Fighting Ace. 

2. Battler Britton and the Sword of Ram-Ka

• Original Publication: Knockout (serialized from #12 January 1963 to #16 February 1963).
• Plot Details: In another departure from gritty historical realism, this adventure sends the RAF hero on an exotic, high-stakes quest centered around a legendary artifact—the Sword of Ram-Ka.
• Collected Editions: The story was famously repackaged and reprinted in the Valiant Annual 1970.

Megax the Warrior from Spike (1983) - Compiled and edited by H. C.

Art : Isidre Monés

 "Megax the Warrior" was a British comic strip published in the weekly 
boys' anthology Spike by DC Thomson 

between August and December 1983 (issues #30 to #46).

• Concept: It was created as DC Thomson’s sci-fi/fantasy answer to popular 

barbarian-style heroes like Sláine.
• Setting: It followed adventures set in a distant land stranded in time 

with a medieval yet fantastical atmosphere.
• Publication History: Spike ran for 67 total issues from 

January 1983 to April 1984 before merging into Champ.

The original creators of Megax the Warrior are currently unknown.

In the British comic industry of that era—particularly with DC Thomson 

publications like Spike—it was standard editorial practice not 

to credit the writers or artists in the magazine. 

Because of this anonymity, comic historians and reference 

databases (such as the British Comic Companion) have not been able

 to identify the specific creative team behind Megax's adventures in Braxas.

In France, Megax the Warrior was published in the review En Garde! (Mon Journal) 

issues 89 to 92 (april 1985 - january 1986) (reported by Doc Mars)
