This week's Commando Comics, issues 5771-5774, brings a thrilling mix of time-travelling soldiers, sniper duels against V2 rockets, renegade paratroopers, and unlikely heroes.

Commando 5771: Home of Heroes: The Shape-shifter Returns!

After a terrible case of mistaken identity, Private Ron Cope is catapulted into the future to stand trial for crimes he didn't commit! Stuck in 3023, the hapless Brit has to prove not only that he can't shape-shift but that he is from 1940!

But his problems don't end there because when he gets back to his own time, he'll have to hunt down the shape-shifter that stole his place — if he manages to get back to the right time that is!

Science fiction meets Commando war action in Issue 5771, the sequel to Commando issue 5623! With wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey time travel capers that will send your head spinning!

Commando 5772: Gold Collection: Sniper!

Commando 5772: Gold Collection: Sniper!

It must have been the strangest duel in the Second World War – a rifle matched against a giant V2 rocket, the Nazis' most fearful terror weapon. 

But the man carefully sighting along that rifle barrel was dead-shot Captain Gordon Baxter. He wasn't likely to miss, even when he knew he'd probably be blown to kingdom come if he hit the target...

Classic Commando from the 1970s incoming! Two brothers are pitted against a fanatical Nazi in this raucous romp from writer Allan. With amazing artwork from Collado and Jordi Penalva on cover!

The Renegade Raiders return in more paratrooper action after D-Day!

Sergeant Joe Shatner and his group of mavericks have more than just Nazis to contend with, as his brown-nosing lieutenant has it out for them! That is until a surprising radio call has the Renegade Raiders hightailing it to a windmill in enemy territory on an all-out rescue mission!

Ferg Handley's rag-tag group of American Paratroopers return in the second instalment of their D-Day adventures. This time with artwork from Vicente Alcazar and artwork from brand-new cover artist Simon Pritchard on board for this second Commando cover.

Commando 5774: Silver Collection: Some Kind of Hero

Commando 5774: Silver Collection: Some Kind of Hero

In a desperate race against time, Arnold Ragley dragged the unconscious driver from the burning truck and began stumbling to safety with him. Why the hurry? Because he knew that the truck was filled with high explosives!

It was a heroic action... which was strange, because Arnold Ragley had never been a hero and never wanted to be one.

A criminal turned hero is a traditional Commando character storyline which features in CG Walker's issue 'Some Kind of Hero' – and if it ain't broke! With explosive artwork from both Blasco and Jeff Bevan to boot!
