Launching tomorrow, Harken's Raiders from Vanbreed Studios will bring '90s Green Lantern veterans and Kyle Rayner co-creators Ron Marz and Darryl Banks back together -- and ComicBook.com readers can get an exclusive first look now.

The series, a war comic, centers on tales of the Special Operations Executive during World War II with scripts by Ron Marz, plots by Allen Cordrey, art by Darryl Banks, color by Dee Cunniffe and lettering by Rachel Deering.

You can check out a couple of pages in the attached image gallery and see the first handful of pages when they go live February 15 on the Vanbreed website.

Harken's Raiders takes place in 1940 and follows the missions of an American volunteer team serving in Churchill's Special Operations Executive. The SOE was so clandestine, the general public didn't know about them until six years after they disbanded.

The SOE carried out the most dangerous missions in World War II. They specialized in sabotage, assassinations, misinformation and high value target extraction, so you can see why they were nicknamed "The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare".

The series' first issue finds Captain Harken and his team heading to occupied Finland to extract a Nazi scientist with some key information. Should be a simple job, a "milk run," if you will: drop in, grab the scientist and hop a fishing troller. Unfortunately, the Nazis have something to say about that...!

This isn't the first foray outside of superheroes for either man, of course; Marz has one of the most diverse resumes in all of comics, working for numerous publishers that range from DC and Marvel to Athlita, Amazon, and even Death Wish Coffee. Banks has done war comics at least twice before that we can recall, with GI Joe: Reloaded and Battlezones: Dream Team.
