November 1969 issue No. 8 of M.A.R.S. PATROL Total War:
“When the M.A.R.S. Patrol destroys an invader weather-control ship, they capture a badly wounded courier whose name translates as Victor. Victor explains that his is an army of aliens, intent on capturing Earth for its resources. Through their interrogation, M.A.R.S. concludes that the next major attack will be on Miami. Gold Key Comics Club News. In ‘Part II: Seek and Destroy’, M.A.R.S. helps fend off the attack on Miami even as ‘Victor’ escapes, determined to redeem himself. A booby trap from his own side kills him just as M.A.R.S. discovers the secret underwater base, which they then destroy.” [source]
