Commando Comics Briefing: Issues 5887-5890
Commando Comics Issues 5887-5890 land this Thursday, 11th September 2025, delivering four gripping tales of wartime suspense and heroism. From spies in Iran and a deadly noose in North Africa to a hidden Luftwaffe base with jet bombers poised for a final strike, this latest batch is packed with action, mystery, and historical drama.
Leading the way is the explosive return of "V for Vengeance," which has not appeared in comics for decades. This wartime thriller has finally been revived from the pages of The Wizard (1942). Commando 5887 reimagines the chilling story of 'The Deathless Men,' assassins. They instil fear into the Nazi elite, leaving behind a list of future victims and a haunting proclamation: V for Vengeance. Dominic Teague and Alberto Saichann bring this legend back to life in stark black-and-white, with all the bloodlust and intensity of the original.

Commando 5887 (Home of Heroes): V for Vengeance: Prisoner 7324
As air raids wreak havoc over the skies of Berlin, dread pervades the Nazi party. High-ranking officials are being assassinated one by one by the mysterious group named 'The Deathless Men'. At the scene of each crime, the killers leave a list of future victims alongside a proclamation titled 'V for Vengeance'.
Desperately, those whose names are listed seek answers, but their only clues link each assassin to deceased prisoners of a concentration camp – are the dead returning to seek revenge?
Commando welcomes the explosive return of the V for Vengeance series – first seen in the pages of The Wizard in 1942! Now brought to the black-and-white pages of Commando by Alberto Saichann, Dominic Teague's Deathless Men are equally as bloodthirsty and hellbent on vengeance as the original series!

Commando 5888 (Gold): Noose for a Hero
It was madness… a British patrol and a South African patrol hunting each other down like wild animals in the narrow moon-lit streets of a ruined North African oasis. Bullets sang through the gloom as men who had been friends only one hour before acted like savage enemies.
The cause of all this was something that had happened on another dark night in 1899, in South Africa…
