5331: Home of Heroes: Flight from Tomorrow 
Story | Adrian Tchaikovsky | Art | Paolo Ongaro | Cover | Ian Kennedy

Forget Dungeons and Dragons – try Dunkirk and Dragons! From Arthur C. Clarke Award winning writer Adrian Tchaikovsky comes a Commando like never before! To commemorate the 80th anniversary of the events leading up to Dunkirk, “Flight from Tomorrow” not only tells the story of Captain Dougal McKerr and his men caught up in the retreat, but the strange tale of the mysterious Mary and a group of orphans trying to escape not just from the Nazis – but from another time entirely!

5332: Gold Collection: Zero Feet 
Story | Kellie | Art | Gordon C Livingstone | Cover | Ken Barr | Originally Commando No. 82 (1963).

Some pilots were born brave, fearless flyers who chased Nazi pilots like a hawk would a pigeon — these pilots were the hunters. Other pilots, like Jimmy Daiken, were the hunted. They were like foals taking their first steps — if their first step happened to be flying high up in the clouds! Jimmy’s squadron leader didn’t think he had it in him to be a hunter, but Jimmy was about to prove him wrong, even if it meant he had to fly at zero feet!

5333: Action and Adventure: The Midnight Mob 
Story | Stephen Walsh | Art | Jaume Forns | Cover | Neil Roberts

80 years ago, after the ruckus at Dunkirk, a new outfit was formed in Britain. This bunch took the men who didn’t make it into the army and turned them into a mob designed to protect Blighty’s shores. At first, they were called the “Local Defence Volunteers”, until old Churchill told them to change it to what we now know them as — The Home Guard! But what happens when the Home Guard have to deal with a Nazi rocket man and a bunch of crack German troops? Well, you’d get the events of our Home Guard special “The Midnight Mob”!

5334: Silver Collection: Traitor Planes 
Story | Bill Fear | Art | Jose Maria Jorge | Cover | K Walker | Originally Commando No. 1537 (1981).

“One of our own kites is shooting at us!”
That’s what Dave Roberts heard his tail gunner yell before their Lancaster was hit badly. Forced to bail out over enemy territory, Dave would have to wait a while to report what he heard — if he could escape from a prisoner camp and find his way back to Britain first! Another classic silver reprint Commando tale from Bill Fear with spectacular interior artwork from fan favourite Jose Maria Jorge!
