Story |Iain McLaughlin | Art | Rezzonico| | Inks | Morhain | Cover | Neil Roberts

In 1605, Guy Fawkes and his co-conspirators crept into the cellars under Parliament with a plot to blow up the British government.

More than three-hundred years later, in 1943, a group of German spies led by the fanatic Hauptmann Harald Stein had the same idea. Following Guy Fawkes’ example, their plan was to blow up Churchill and the British government. Their target: Westminster.

Story | Powell | Art | CT Rigby | Cover| Ken Barr | Originally Commando No. 305 (January 1968)

"ACHTUNG! Wanted, for Top Secret mission behind enemy lines, men who can speak English with a strong American accent, expert in all types of weapons and unarmed combat. Tough, reliable, ruthless."

That notice went round all the crack German Army units. The Nazis got their volunteers, just a handful. They dressed that handful in Yankee uniform and parachuted them behind British and American lines to sabotage the Allied advance.

But they didn't reckon on a British sergeant who just hated Yanks!

5162: Silver Collection: Clip His Wings!
Story | Heptonstall | Art | CT Rigby | Cover | Ian Kennedy | Originally Commando No. 2872 (July 1995)

Bill Thornton was a spotter pilot, working as the eyes of the artillery, and for the military planners masterminding the advance across France towards Germany in the closing stages of the war. So take away his plane, clip his wings, and he would be almost useless?

No, not Bill. He was looking for the first action to cross his path… and that would not be long in coming
