New issues of Commando are out soon, with issues 5363-5366 hitting shelves. Follow a group of Royal Marine Commandos on a routine training exercise in the Scottish Highlands that goes horribly wrong when they interrupt an illegal arms-deal; a classic Commando from the 1960s as British dispatch rider Sergeant George Ward has a disaster on a routine delivery job when the road swings into a dark forest that will haunt him for months; Ramsey’s Raiders return yet again for a less than above board mission in a SS infested village in France; and Olaf Milang returns home to his native Norway on a secret mission to find out if his own brother is really acting the traitor and wearing the uniform of the Nazi-controlled police.

In Captain Eric Hebden’s classic Commando from the 1960s, British dispatch rider Sergeant George Ward was roaring back to his base in France after a routine delivery job when the road swung into a dark forest — and what happened when George raced into that wood was to give him nightmares for months to come!

Story | Ferg Handley | Art | Carlos Pino | Cover | Ian Kennedy

Ramsey’s Raiders return yet again – this time for a less than above board mission in a SS infested village in France. The elite Special Raiding Force are out to rescue the trapped SOE agent, who also happens to be a relative of their commanding officer — and to make matters worse, their secret rescue mission is hot off the back of D-Day and the Allies are ready to blast the Jerries out!

Story |Bill Fear | Art |Ruiz | Cover | Ian Kennedy | Originally Commando No. 1569 (1981).

Family loyalties are often stronger than any other ties in Commando. That’s why in ‘The Secret Heroes’ Olaf Milang couldn’t believe what he was told by the Resistance when he returned home to his native Norway on a secret mission. Was his own brother really acting the traitor and wearing the uniform of the Nazi-controlled police?! Find out is this fantastic silver-era reprint!
