Commando 5675: Home of Heroes: Professor Warr
Story | Suresh | Art | Jaume Forns | Cover | Neil Roberts
What happens when an aged and eccentric professor is sent to the desert front in the Second World War? Well, at first his habits provoke everything from fun to irritation from his younger, greener comrades in arms. But Warr soon teaches them that to win they’ll have to fight smarter — not harder!
Commando 5675 is the sequel to issue 5643 Warr and Pease by Suresh, which sees the return of the haphazard professor from the First World War, now fighting in the Second World War. All this is brought to life by Jaume Forns with an explosive Neil Roberts cover!

Commando 5676: Gold Collection: Trail Blazers!
Story | Allan | Art | Aguilar | Cover | Penalva | Originally Commando No. 494 (1970)
In his first action against the Germans, Lieutenant Guy Morton lowered his head and charged. His men cheered and followed — and that was a shock for Guy, because he’d been sure he was running away from the fight!
Deep down, Lieutenant Guy Morton felt he was a coward — and now he had been sent to command fighting men in the front line.
There were whispers about him, then came the test of courage, and Guy cracked and ran. But he realised his men were following him and cheering like mad!
Classic Commando incoming! Featuring amazing work from Allan, Aguilar and Penalva at the height of their careers!

Commando 5677: Action and Adventure: Hell on High
Story | Brent Towns | Art | Guillermo Galeote | Cover | Keith Burns
They called Lieutenant Robert Lloyd a coward for flying out of formation in Lazy Daisy, his Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress Bomber. They blamed him for the death of over half of his crew, so they kicked him out and demoted him to co-pilot in another outfit.
Lloyd got a new crate and its pilot, Lieutenant Greg Hanlon, thought he knew the score and wouldn’t listen to a coward’s advice on flying. But Hanlon was going to learn that things weren’t all black and white when burning B-17s were going down around you amidst a hundred bursts of deadly flak!
Brent Towns is in fighting form on writing duty for this issue. With newcomer Guillermo Galeote on interiors and a true-to-form awe-inspiring cover by Keith Burns!

Commando 5678: Silver Collection: Nothing Could Stop Him!
Story | Bill Fear | Art | Carrion | Cover | Ian Kennedy | Originally Commando No. 1423 (1980).
Steve Hunter began to wonder just what he was doing on board a rusty old cargo freighter in the middle of the Indian Ocean, especially when a Japanese submarine began to use the ship for target practice.
But he had escaped death before in the long search for his brother and he would do it again — nothing could stop him!
With Ian Kennedy on cover duty, Carrion on interiors and Bill Fear on story — this is a silver-age Commando you don’t want to miss! Nothing could stop… you from getting your copy of Issue 5678!
