5483: Home of Heroes: The Ghoul Squad 
Story | Mike Garley | Art | Manuel Benet | Cover | Manuel Benet

Feast your eyes on the first of our Halloween Commando specials! In Issue 5386 ‘The Ghoul Squad’, there’s rumours of gruesome goings-on in Transylvania of all places! So when a British squad disguised as peasants come a-knocking, you know there’s going to be hell to pay for some coffin dodgers!

A devilish delight of a story from gnarly Mike Garley for his second-ever Commando, which is brought back from the dead by the mysterious master himself, Manuel Benet. Make sure to pick up what is the first issue in a brand-new series — we hope it doesn’t drain the blood from your face while you read it!

5484: Gold Collection: Swamp of Terror 
Story | Allan | Art | Galindo | Cover | Penalva | Originally Commando No. 617 (1972).

A creepy classic Commando crawling out from the archive dungeons… Issue 5484 ‘Swamp of Terror’ is coming your way very, very soon! And no, it’s not about a teenager’s bedroom, but a gloomy swamp in the heart of Germany — treacherous to anyone who doesn’t know the area! But luckily, Corporal Alec Tracy did — only he was going to have to employ the help of a Nazi to get through! 

In this chilling Commando from 1972, the brain of Allan, pen of Galindo, and paintbrush of Penalva will be sure to haunt you if you miss it!

5485: Action and Adventure: Escape No Man’s Land 
Story | Georgia Standen Battle | Art | Vicente Alcazar | Cover | Staz Johnson

Issue 5485 is not for the faint of heart! ‘Escape No Man’s Land’ is the closest Commando has ever come to all-out horror as writer Georgia Battle tackles what terror lies in wait in the desolation in no man’s land. For no men are out there in the wastes — only monsters! A warning though, this Commando may give little children nightmares so only read if you’re brave enough! 

This one-off Halloween special is from the deranged mind of Georgia Battle who teams up with the vilely-good Vicente Alcazar on interior artwork! All this topped off with another eerie and excellent cover by Staz Johnson!/p>

5486: Silver Collection: Face the Demon! 
Story | CG Walker | Art | CT Rigby | Cover | Ron Brown | Originally Commando No. 1746 (1983).

Beware! Beware… Issue 5486 has slithered its way out of the Commando archive for a hair-raising reprint! We all have inner demons we need to face, but Clive Harrison’s demon was bigger, scarier and worse than anyone else’s – or so Clive thought! Could he bear to do his duty and stand by his mates with this horrible thing looming over him? Or would he crumble under the pressure?!

Amazing work from the deadly duo of CG Walker and CT Rigby is rounded off by a stellar cover by Ron Brown!
