First up in the spine-chilling set of Halloween Commandos is Issue 5583 and the return of Mike Garley’s Ghoul Squad — as something hunts them in the Alps!

5584: A Stirling Called Satan
Eerie Issue 5584 was picked 'By Special Request!' from a reader for our Halloween specials of Commando! A Stirling bomber so unlucky, it had to be cursed by the devil himself! Every time the crew set off on a mission they wondered if it was going to be their last. Even its number, 5-3-5, added up to 13!
With a spooky story by RA Montague and uncanny art by Mira and Keith Walker, it’s no wonder that this creepy classic Commando was summoned by Commando readers to rise again!

5586: Fangs of Fear
You may be thinking of vampire fangs when you hear ‘Fangs of Fear’, but this Commando features a different set of gnashers entirely – in the form of a deadly, venomous cobra! And this wasn’t the first time a cobra had fixed Lieutenant Bob Morton with a hypnotic stare —but that was when he was only a boy. It had haunted his nightmares for many years since then, and now it was happening again! Was this the time for him to die?
A more traditional Commando offering for readers who want a break from the more supernatural scares on offer this month. Issue 5586 features the golden trio of Commando contributors CG Walker, CT Rigby, and Ian Kennedy!
