Commando 5515: Home of Heroes: War of the Roses 
Story | Brent Towns | Art | Paolo Ongaro | Cover | Neil Roberts

Captain George Rose and Kapitan Zur See Helmut Rose had only two things in common —their rank and their shared last name. In 1941, these two men were destined to meet in the middle of the Atlantic in what was to be a new kind of War of the Roses! But who would be destined to come out on top?!

Brent Towns modernises the battle of the houses of ‘Rose’ in his epic tale of cat and mouse in the Atlantic Ocean, with a little help from Paolo Ongaro’s mighty interiors and a dramatic Neil Roberts cover!

Commando 5516: Gold Collection: Desert Squadron 
Story | Lang | Art | AC Kennedy | Cover | Sanfeliz | Originally Commando No. 417 (1969)

The dusty battered Hurricanes ranged far and wide over the desert, guns seeking out Nazi target after target. Every pilot was a crack-shot, men with nerves of steel and the courage of lions. All that was, except Pilot Officer David Groves! Hounded by his unrelenting CO who also happened to be his brother, Groves felt like the only thing he was good at was being a failure. That was until he stepped out of his aircraft and began roving the desert on foot! 

This classic issue from Lang is brought to life by the masterful AC Kennedy. Its cover by the incomparable Sanfeliz makes Issue 5516 one NOT to miss!

Commando 5517: Action and Adventure: Snowbound 
Story | Colin Maxwell | Art | Khato | Cover | Ian Kennedy

In frozen Norway, Georg Fischer is on the run. Once part of the Nazi occupation, Georg fled from those who were once his brothers-in-arms! So, with enemies everywhere, Fischer will need more than his wits if he is to survive! His only option is to desert, fleeing into the merciless landscape of the fjords. But with enemies everywhere and death at every corner, Fischer will need more than his wits if he is to survive.

This cracker of an issue is written by Colin Maxwell with interiors by Khato. The late Ian Kennedy’s amazing artwork graces the cover for this Commando, making this issue a stand-out.

Commando 5518: Silver Collection: Soldier of Fortune 
Story | Bill Fear | Art | Fleming | Cover | Jeff Bevan | Originally Commando No. 1762 (1983)

Mike Malone was a mercenary, keen to fight wherever the action took him. He didn’t care whom he fought for, but he trusted and respected the men he fought beside and whom he trained. And just when he needed someone else’s help and trust, he got it! And with World War II on the horizon, he was going to need all the help he could get!

What a corker from the minds of Bill Fear, Fleming and Jeff Bevan, who come together to give you this classic from 1983!
