Commando 5167-5170

Brand new Commando issues are out today! Track down a vicious criminal in WW2 France, search the desert dunes for the Black Schneider, help free Mexico from the Federales, and find out what secrets the sea holds!

5167: Dangerous Investigations
Lieutenant John Weller was like a bloodhound when he was on a case. From his early years as a police detective, solving high‑class robberies, to being a military policeman on the trail of a smuggling ring in the British Army – nothing could stand between him and his investigation… not even a little thing called World War Two. 

    This tenacity would take Weller right into the German invasion of France in 1940. But Weller was going to get his suspect — no matter how dangerous the investigation.

5168: Black Schneider
For Sergeant Bill Kane this was the last straw.
    Bill had run up against “Black Schneider” — Nazi Major Schneider and his mobile desert commandos — the most feared striking force in the desert. Schneider squashed Bill’s little force as carelessly as he’d have squashed a beetle under his gleaming black jackboots.
    A solid year of bad luck had made Bill’s platoon shunned like the plague. Joining it seemed like asking for a one‑way ticket to perdition. And now they faced Schneider. There was only one way for Bill to change things. Get out, then find and smash the Black Schneider!

5169: Rebel Riders
The heroes of ‘Viva Villa’ return but not as you know them!
   
    Disguised as priests and accompanied by Sister Sofia, the Gomez brothers face one of their deadliest missions yet – working with a nun!
    Still fighting for the revolution to free Mexico, Carlos and Hector were tasked with sneaking into a Federale-held city and rescuing an American journalist from the clutches of Huerta himself! Ay caramba!

5170: Sea of Secrets
When Tim Elder, young and keen, his sub lieutenant’s rank badge shining new, received a posting to the Mediterranean, he found that he had joined a part of the Royal Navy that he knew nothing about.
    For instance, what was the secret of the grubby fishing vessel that made the Germans determined to sink her? And where were the secret passages through the danger‑ridden reefs that could mean the difference between life or death?
    If Tim were to survive, he had to learn these secrets – and learn them fast!
