Commando This Week: 5191-5194

This Thursday, more Commando issues are out. Get ready for Viking ghosts, a man from Mars, Napoleonic duels, and grudges against the Germans!

Cover of the week goes to Commando 5193 with Graeme Neil Reid with what was "perhaps the most detailed brief in Commando history". And it looks amazing! 

5191: Home of Heroes: Viking Phantom
Story | George Low | Art | Morhain & Defeo | Cover | Neil Roberts

Something weird this way comes from the mind of George Low! In an ancient Scottish Broch, Fleet Air Arm Warrant Officer Rex Leigh is shivering - but is it from the cold? Or is it from what is lurking outside in the murk? Out there in the dark, German infiltrators aren't the only thing Rex should be frightened of! All this topped off with an eerie cover from Neil Roberts… what more could a spook want?

5192: Gold Collection: Soldier from Space
Story | Skentleberry | Art | Cortes | Cover | Penalva | Originally Commando No. 577 (August 1971).

Writer Skentleberry can always be relied on for a wacky Commando yarn, but this stellar adventure will blow your mind! Voltan comes from the year 3000 AD and he's looking for men to serve in his army - but not if Lieutenant Mike Johnson has anything to say about it! This paired with Jordi Penalva's Flash Gordon-esque cover does more than sell this out-of-this-world issue which almost belongs in Commando's brother comic, Starblazer!

5193: Action and Adventure: Cold Steel
Story | Jim and David Turner | Art | Muller & Klacik | Cover | Graeme Neil Reid

Graeme Neil Reid delivers again with his third-ever Commando cover! Here's a Commando behind the scenes titbit: the brief for this cover was perhaps the most detailed brief in Commando history! And what a brilliant job Reid does in bringing Jim and David Turner's Napoleonic war story to life!

5194: Silver Collection: Grant's Grudge
Story | Ian Clark | Art | Gordon C Livingstone | Cover | Ian Kennedy | Originally Commando No. 2751 (April 1994).

A powerhouse of Commando contributors come together in ‘Grant's Grudge’ with veteran writer Ian Clark teaming up with Gordon C Livingstone and Ian Kennedy! Follow Sergeant Doug Grant, who thinks the only good German is a dead one! Even when Grant's treated by some kindly German doctors - the grudge remains. So what does he do? He punches them in the face and scarpers! Also a highlight in this Commando: a goose attack!
