Commando presents Codename Warlord, the return of fan favourite character, Lord Peter Flint, to comic pages for the first time in over twenty years! Last published in Warlord in 1986, his latest interpretation is from prolific Commando writer, Iain McLaughlin, and beloved interior artist, Manuel Benet, both of whom were aficionados of the top agent in his Warlord heyday! Plus the issue has a special wraparound cover by Ian Kennedy!

"I'm sick of it! Sick and tired of the whole flaming set-up!" Sergeant Jeff Ridley cried. He was tired of his desk jockey, pen-pushing job as a chief clerk of the Wessex Rifles and he had decided he didn't want to sit out the war for a moment longer. Only, when it came down to it, the little man couldn't find the courage to fight – and things quickly became a nightmare for Jeff.

Ken Rooney wanted the easy life as a US NAVY pilot flying a Vought OS2U Kingfisher, but that wasn't meant to be – for very quickly Ken caught the attention of an Australian Group Captain with a nose for trouble. Soon, the odd pair were caught up in a reconnaissance mission that went very wrong – so wrong that only a prosthetic leg could save the day!

Some people don't know when to let things go – and these Nazis could not take the hint. The Nazi werewolf fanatics weren't going to let a small thing like the war ending stop their mission – even if they had to stay in an underground bunker for three years to await their moment!
