Commando issues 5431-5434 are out soon! With vengeful Gurkhas, mysterious British Officers, Motor Torpedo Boats and treasure chests, this is a set you don’t want to miss!
5431: Lions in Burma
When a shifty British Officer is discovered in a crash in the deep Burmese jungle, Sergeant Obafemi Agbaje, of the 82nd West African Division, is honour bound to assist him. But the Sergeant can't shake the feeling that something isn't quite right about the chap!
In Issue 5341, Heath Ackley’s story reminds us of regiments often overlooked in World War Two, to honour those whose bravery has been forgotten. Plus, with an lush green cover from Neil Roberts, alongside Paolo Ongaro’s expressive interiors — this is a Commando you’ll hear roar!

5432: Blade of Honour
”Kafar hunu bhanda marnu ramro” — ”Better to die than live like a coward.” This is the Gurkhas’ motto, a code of conduct that was to be upheld. But it wasn’t just for them, they expected their British Officers to also adhere to that same code of courage. So, why then was a Gurkha's blade, the razor-sharp kukri, poised to kill none other than a British Officer?! How did this come to be — well that is a story you'll have to read in Issue 5432 Blade of Honour!
A classic Commando from the 1960s, Issue 5432 features art and cover by the late great Gordon C Livingstone woven with a twisting yarn by Eric Hebden.

5433: Dead Man’s Chest
Five men found the Dead Man's Chest, hidden in a cave on a tiny Scottish Island. Their eyes were all greedy but soon one of them decided he didn't want to share! Issue 5433 is a story which would make even Robert Louis Stevenson proud! A tale of treasure, treachery, and terror from writer Colin Maxwell, as he unfolds twists and turns from the shores of rainy Scotland all the way to the sands of North Africa and back!

5434: The Fiord Fighters
A Commando harking back to the Silver era of war comics! The fearsome fiord fighters from Norway were desperate to take the fight to their homeland! Unfortunately for their CO, Lieutenant Rolf Amundsen, his Royal Navy superior liked to do things by the book — and only by the book! But Rolf wasn’t to be beaten, as he was specifically selected by the British Commandos to aid them on a mission that would take his Motor Torpedo Boat and his crew right back to Nazi-occupied Norway!
