Commando 5785: Action and Adventure: Lucky Coin

In the year 1745, Bonnie Prince Charlie landed in Scotland to win back the British crown, with the support of the The Old Alliance. The French sent supplies and money to aid their Scottish allies, and so began the last of the Jacobite rebellions.

Centuries later, one coin was in the hands of Bruce Niven, a SOE agent working with the French Resistance. But would the French coin bring him luck — or would they both end up buried in French soil?

A true dream team of Ferg Handley, Vicente Alacazar and Marco Bianchini bring this historical adventure to life. You'll flip if you don't grab it off the shelves.

Commando 5786: Silver Collection: The Treasure of Devil Island

Not every desert island is a paradise... as the shipwrecked British sailors washed up on Tarotonga were quick to find out. They'd barely dragged themselves ashore when an eerie wailing echoed along the beach and chilled their blood.

Someone or something seemed displeased at their presence, and events began to take a more murderous course. As if that wasn't enough, the castaways also had to contend with some Japanese airmen who'd crash-landed into the same path of trouble!

A spooky 1980s whodunnit in the tropics rounds out our roster this week. With a taught script by CG Walker and killer artwork by Carrion and Ron Brown!
