Commando 5559: Home of Heroes: Wild Weasel! 
Story | Richard Estep | Art | Alberto Saichann | Cover | Keith Burns

The skies above the Vietnamese Jungle are a terrifying place for American warplanes, as Captain Shannon 'Vulcan' Sovndal and Lieutenant Erik 'Luger' Colnick can testify. But as the Vietnamese surface-to-air missile sites take their toll and American casualties mount, Luger and Vulcan are out for revenge. Only a new team with their focus on taking down SAM sites can free the skies and the pair from the torment of lost friends and colleagues… and they're Wild Weasels!

Alberto Saichann's intense interiors feature in this debut story from Richard Estep, with a characteristically dramatic cover from Keith Burns.

Commando 5560: Gold Collection: Hitler's Double 
Story | Allan | Art | Gordon C. Livingstone | Cover | Gordon C. Livingstone | Originally Commando No. 457 (1970).

April 30th 1945 and the leader of the Third Reich — Adolf Hitler — has died in his concrete bunker… or has he? Commando Sergeant Joe Dawson certainly doesn't think so, as he and his men kidnap the Nazi Fuhrer and begin to smuggle him across Poland! But when there seems to be a double in the mix, the chaos of the last days of WW2 mean anything could happen.

A fierce and action-packed story from Allan featuring some of Gordon C Livingstone's best interiors, as well as a tense and painterly cover.

Commando 5561: Action and Adventure: Hurricane Henry 
Story | Frank Buhagiar | Art | Jaume Forns | Cover | Neil Roberts

Henry Chance never wanted for anything growing up. Life was his plaything — and that attitude stayed with him as the Second World War broke out. As his antics in the air become renowned, the Hurricane pilot enjoyed every minute. That is, until he finds himself holed up with a widowed farmer and her children after being shot down. Perhaps war isn't the game he thought it was, after all?

Frank Buhagiar debuts in this high-speed story, featuring crisp interiors from Jaume Forns and a classic-looking cover from Neil Roberts.

But not all is as it seems, and the odd couple make a strangely dynamic duo, as they uncover the truth and rescue a precious treasure for Rocci and his monastic pals!

A lively tale of twists and turns from C G Walker, with energetic interiors from C T Rigby and a classic cover from Jeff Bevan.
