Commando 5923 (Home of Heroes): Where The Action Is!

His medal ribbons showed the campaigns he had been in. The bronze oak leaves proved his bravery. He was Captain Dave Fletcher, and he was a man who thirsted for battle.

Then came the moment when he had to decide which was more important – grabbing more glory for himself or saving the life of a friend.

Commando 5924 (Gold): Chariot of War

Private Dave Charlton's mates reckoned he was off his rocker. When he didn’t have his nose stuck in a book, he was grubbing about after clay tablets covered in weird inscriptions.

But then they changed their minds, for Dave began getting ideas from these ancient writings – ideas about how to fight a modern war – ideas that made the enemy run for their lives!

Commando 5925 (For Action and Adventure): Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Sailor.

Singapore, February 1942. For days, the Japanese had thrown in everything they had to try to take the great port.

Finally, the city's defenders were bombed, burned and blasted into submission. But out of the rubble walked four unbeaten men – a tinker, a tailor, a soldier and a sailor – with absolutely nothing in common except a fierce, burning hatred for the enemy.

Story: Staff.

Cover: Penalva.
First published 1973 as No. 765.

Commando 5926 (Silver): Let Battle Commence!

How do you win a battle? It's easy. You start with an ancient, paddle-driven tugboat and you steam out into the open sea. You have only some rifles on board, but a few days later you capture a Japanese torpedo boat. Then you join an enemy convoy and sink a troopship!

Yes, it's that easy... as long as you've a will of iron, nerves of steel, and the sort of courage that heroes are made of.

Story: Brunt.
Art: A. C. Kennedy.
Cover: Penalva.
First published 1973 as No. 785.
