But this time Captain Jimmy Ramsey has his own Mad Major to contend with, as the raiders stumble upon a beleaguered artillery convoy. Thinking it best to lend a hand soon gets out of hand when Ramsey has more than the Afrika Korps to contend with as the commanding officer is barmier than a bag of cats!

5582: Unwilling Heroes
They were two men, a soldier and a pilot, who had risked their lives once to try to rescue a stranded airman from the merciless desert. Yet far from being awarded any medals they had found themselves being punished for disobeying orders. From then on they vowed never to stick their necks out again —but could that vow stand when the chips were down?
A classic Commando from the 1980s! From the brains of ‘Anglo’, who wrote and drew the interiors, and Philpott with another amazing cover — well, we’d be unwilling to miss it!
