Last I recall he had assumed control of the Shadows and was planing to destroy Cobra. Have a look at "Revenge of the Red Shadows". Great story too.

Thanks for that link Baron - I'd never read that far back into the posts, and not yet re-read many of the tales - I now can't wait to either get the Complete Works, or get my comics into some sort of order enough to start reading!

It wasn't until I re-read the stories recently that I realised that REVENGE OF THE RED SHADOWS was tied into the end of ASSAULT ON ATOLL Z. With

drifting on their coconut raft in the Pacific, they were lucky enough to avoid the Red Shadow purge instigated in WORLD ENEMY No. 1.

Vol 2 works out so neatly. I had to flesh it out with the additional Q Force strips at the front which gives us
