Commando 5683: Home of Heroes: Cyclone Crellin
Story | JP Bridson | Art | Paolo Ongaro | Cover | Neil Roberts
Cyril Crellin was born during the Regina Cyclone of 1912, and it sure left its mark. He was a hurricane on ice, armed with his lucky hockey stick he could strike the puck as hard as any monsoon, scattering rival players in his wake. One such rival would never forget the sting of defeat at "Cyclone" Crellin's hands, though. Even war breaking out wouldn't stop him from seeking revenge and he was happy to get his hands dirty doing it.
A gritty tale of murder and revenge from writer JP Bridon that overlaps with D-Day! There's amazing artwork as usual from Paolo Ongaro and one of Neil Roberts' best covers yet! Don't miss it!

Commando 5684: Gold Collection: Undercover Agent
Story | RA Montague | Art | Galindo | Cover | Ian Kennedy
Why were a dozen German paratroopers being flown into British-occupied territory? And why was there a mixed bunch of black-marketeers to greet them?
There was certainly more to this than met the eye, and Captain Don Burke, a British undercover agent, was determined to find out what was going on.
Issue #5684 is penned by veteran and prolific writer RA Montague and features a dramatic Ian Kennedy cover! Also, here's a Commando fact for you: the interior artist 'Galindo' happens to be a pseudonym for an artist Commando readers may recognise… the incomparable Manuel Benet!

Commando 5685: Action and Adventure: Fly Fast, Skipper!
Story | Brent Towns | Art | Guillermo Galeote | Cover | Guillermo Galeote
Aussie Flight Lieutenant Dick Thompson's skill had been hard-won in the deserts of North Africa against the Luftwaffe. But Dick was going to need everything he had to go up against the Japanese Mitsubishi AGM Zero in the air battle over Milne Bay. The Zero was more manoeuvrable than his P-40 Kittyhawk but there was one thing that his kite did better — it was faster. If he was going to survive, he was going to need to fly fast!
Commando welcomes Guillermo Galeote to the ranks of artists in his second Commando and his first-ever Commando cover — and what a cover!

Commando 5686: Silver Collection: Out of the Future
Story | Brenchley | Art | Fleming | Cover | Ian Kennedy
His name was Krestor. He was a soldier — but not an ordinary one. For he fought in an army of the future, with weapons far more advanced than those used in the Second World War. But he was also destined to see action in that war, and in the jungles of Burma, he was to fight alongside British soldiers against the advancing Japanese!
Weird sci-fi Commando incoming! This 1980s Commando genre-clashes in the best way possible as a man from the future fights in the Second World War! This is a classic Commando for a reason!
