  • The Cost--Captured by the Germans, Troy is subjected to an experimental drug meant to torture information out of him--over Hans Dietrich's objections.
  • The First Raid--Private Mark Hitchcock's first mission with the Rat Patrol. (reprinted from The G-2 Files #4)
  • Battlezone--A woman helps Sam Troy deal with the fact that on their most recent raid they shot a man reaching for his Bible, thinking he was reaching for a weapon.

  • The Lessons of History Raid--Troy and Tully argue bitterly on the eve of an important mission. (reprinted from Southern Comfort #1)

  • In the Quiet--Trapped in a sandstorm, with Hitchcock wounded, the Patrol has nothing but quiet and time.
  • The Reality Raid--Fantasy Island crossover. A Rat Patrol fan's dream-come-true rapidly becomes a nightmare. (reprinted from Fantazy #3; also in Remote Control #3)
  • Coincidence--Coincidence brings Sam Troy and Hans Dietrich together yet again, forcing them to cooperate for survival, leading Troy to wonder if perhaps they weren't meant to be friends. (reprinted from The G-2 Files #11)
