Commando 5207-5210

Spiders, jets, avengers, and rebels! All this in brand new Commando issues 5207 – 5210 out today! Plus, the debut of a new Commando cover artist and the second part of the WAR ACROSS EUROPE trilogy!

5207: WAR ACROSS EUROPE: Resist!

The second instalment of Commando’s one-off, three-part series WAR ACROSS EUROPE! After fleeing their homeland after its invasion, Stefan and Grigor join the French Resistance to take the fight back to the Nazis! With strong iconography of the Free French Forces symbol superimposed over the French flag, Neil Roberts really captures the spirit of the French rebels fighting to reclaim their homeland!

5208: Jet Blitz

An exciting aviation adventure brought to life by the incomparable Gordon C Livingstone! A tale of cowardice and blackmail from McOwan, which is so exciting it keeps the audience —and the Hawker Tempest pilot protagonists — collectively on the edge of their seats!

5209: American Avenger

Commando is very, very, VERY happy to introduce the newest artist to join the squadron, Keith Burns! And what a way to start – with the cover for ‘American Avenger’! There’s so much energy and atmosphere packed into the cover of Ferg Handley’s Pacific war story, we could stare at it for hours! Burns is well know for his wealth of experience and prowess painting aviation covers, so when the Commando Team met him at Military Odyssey in 2018, they couldn't wait to have Burns join to Commando ranks!

5210: Shadow of the Spider

Along came a spider in this Commando issue! We hope you aren’t afraid of creepy crawlies as there’s a big hairy boy on Alan Burrows eye-bulging cover! What’s more, CG Walker’s plot catches you in its web, and weaves a mystery which traps the reader like a fly! But we’ll keep the story secret for now – we wouldn’t want to string anyone along!
