Commando 5515-5518

Brand-new Commando issues 5515-5518 are out today, Thursday 17th February 2022! With exciting action in the Battle of the Atlantic, the North African Desert, the Norwegian fjords, and with mercenaries in Africa! Get ‘em before they’re gone!

5515: War of the Roses

Captain George Rose and Kapitan Zur See Helmut Rose had only two things in common —their rank and their shared last name. In 1941, these two men were destined to meet in the middle of the Atlantic in what was to be a new kind of War of the Roses! But who would be destined to come out on top?!

Brent Towns modernises the battle of the houses of ‘Rose’ in his epic tale of cat and mouse in the Atlantic Ocean, with a little help from Paolo Ongaro’s mighty interiors and a dramatic Neil Roberts cover!

5516: Desert Squadron

The dusty battered Hurricanes ranged far and wide over the desert, guns seeking out Nazi target after target. Every pilot was a crack-shot, men with nerves of steel and the courage of lions. All that was, except Pilot Officer David Groves! Hounded by his unrelenting CO who also happened to be his brother, Groves felt like the only thing he was good at was being a failure. That was until he stepped out of his aircraft and began roving the desert on foot!
This classic issue from Lang is brought to life by the masterful AC Kennedy. Its cover by the incomparable Sanfeliz makes Issue 5516 one NOT to miss!

5517: Snowbound

In frozen Norway, Georg Fischer is on the run. Once part of the Nazi occupation, Georg fled from those who were once his brothers-in-arms! So, with enemies everywhere, Fischer will need more than his wits if he is to survive! His only option is to desert, fleeing into the merciless landscape of the fjords. But with enemies everywhere and death at every corner, Fischer will need more than his wits if he is to survive.
This cracker of an issue is written by Colin Maxwell with interiors by Khato. The late Ian Kennedy’s amazing artwork graces the cover for this Commando, making this issue a stand-out.

5518: Soldier of Fortune

Mike Malone was a mercenary, keen to fight wherever the action took him. He didn’t care whom he fought for, but he trusted and respected the men he fought beside and whom he trained. And just when he needed someone else’s help and trust, he got it! And with World War II on the horizon, he was going to need all the help he could get!

What a corker from the minds of Bill Fear, Fleming and Jeff Bevan, who come together to give you this classic from 1983!
