Commando 5519: Home of Heroes: Night Witch 
Story | Georgia Standen Battle | Art | Vicente Alcazar | Cover | Mark Harris

Among the enemy troops, soldiers barely whisper their name. Silent and deadly they creep upon their unsuspecting victims, as velvet bombs plummet to the ground and bring destruction to the German lines. These havoc-wreaking tactics could only be attributed to the Nachthexen — the deadly women of the 588th Night Bombers — and nothing can stop them closing in on their prey!

Commando honours the Night Witches in this ominous story from Georgia Standen Battle, perfectly complemented by Vicente Alcazar’s emotive interiors and a haunting cover from Mark Harris.

Who will win out in this high-stakes battle for survival in the mountains?
