Commando 5599: Home of Heroes: The Last War Chief

Story | Hailey Austin | Art | Salvatore Pezone | Cover | Mark Eastbrook

Paul Yellowtail had to complete four' coups' if he was to follow in his grandfather's footsteps and become a war chief: 

1. Lead a war party into battle.
2. Sneak into an enemy camp and steal a horse.
3. Take away an enemy's weapon.
4. Touch an enemy without being harmed.

These are no easy feats - but to do them in the Rhineland, while Jerry is fighting tooth and nail to protect his homeland? Well, let's say Paul has a long way to go before he can call himself a war chief!

Inspired by the experiences of Joe Medicine Crow during World War Two, this is one of – if not Commando's first Native American hero, written by Hailey Austin. Not only that, Salvatore Pezzone makes his Commando debut on interior art, with a stunning blue cover by Mark Eastbrook.

Commando 5600: Gold Collection: Flying Frogman

Story | Finley-Day | Art | V Fuente | Cover | Penalva | Originally Commando No. 482 (1970).

Frogman? FLYING?! That's right! These blokes were experts in underwater sabotage but were given training - as parachutists. Now they can fly in at the dead of night, release their 'chutes as they hit the water, and then go about their silent deeds of destruction!

This is a rip-roaring classic Commando from 1970, featuring Finley-Day's fighting men and their underwater battles brought to life by V Fuente. Topped off with a moody cover by Jordi Penalva, well - you'd fly off the handle if you missed this one! 

Commando 5597: Action and Adventure: Monty's Marauders

Story | Ferg Handley | Art | Carlos Pino | Cover | Carlos Pino

Before there was Ramsey's Raiders, there was Monty's Marauders - a gang of rough, tough, fighting men in the trenches of the First World War! This special raiding group was handpicked by Aubrey Monteith, uncle of Ramsey's driver, Monty - and together they went marauding wherever they could! The Kaiser's men better keep one eye open when this lot is about!

From the writer of Ramsey's Raiders, Ferg Handley, comes this brand-new series of rough-and-ready men who'll do anything to win! Carlos Pino does what he does best on interior and cover art, proving he is and always will be a master of the medium!

Commando 5598: Silver Collection: Barmy's Private Army

Story | RA Montague | Art | Ruiz | Cover | Ian Kennedy | Originally Commando No. 1360 (1979)

Madder than a box of frogs or a bag of cats, this one is! Major "Barmy" Brooke had an uncanny knack for living up to his nickname. His strike force was a bit of a joke and to be transferred to it was a fate worse than death. Anyone actually volunteering was thought to be as crazy as its CO. But that's just what Lieutenant Doug Bradley did. The young officer's ambition was to command a desert group, and even the sight of Barmy's scruffy crew couldn't put him off!

This charming romp of a comic is written by prolific Commando writer RA Montague, with art from Ruiz and Ian Kennedy! What's not to like?!
