A slightly sinister and furiously fervent set from Commando, as we mark International Women’s Day with this dramatic, high-tension foursome! Issues 5519-5522 are out today.
5519: Night Witch
Among the enemy troops, soldiers barely whisper their name. Silent and deadly they creep upon their unsuspecting victims, as velvet bombs plummet to the ground and bring destruction to the German lines. These havoc-wreaking tactics could only be attributed to the Nachthexen — the deadly women of the 588th Night Bombers — and nothing can stop them closing in on their prey!
Commando honours the Night Witches in this ominous story from Georgia Standen Battle, perfectly complemented by Vicente Alcazar’s emotive interiors and a haunting cover from Mark Harris.

Sergeant Brian Hardy is a human fly capable of traversing any terrain. Poppa Pistol is a passionate rebel with a taste for vengeance. Together, the pair and their teams must carry out the capture of a high-ranking Nazi official, but soon they find themselves at odds with how he should be dealt with. Who will win out in this high-stakes battle for survival in the mountains?

5521: Snap Shot
As the Germans march through their ghetto, Weronika and her family bribe their way out of what’s to come… but the Nazi machine can only be trusted in one thing — total destruction. Joining an unconventional resistance cell, Weronika is determined to document the fight against the invaders in the hopes of one day showing the struggle for survival, and how ordinary people resisted with everything they had.

5522: The Fighting Cowboys
Frank Regan wants to sign up and give the Nazi’s the booting they deserve, but it’s a bit tricky to do that from a ranch in South America. Thankfully, the Germans are making it easy for him, bringing a whole host of sailors and a U-boat to his local turf. Let the madness begin!
