5589: Night of the Gorgons

This Halloween Commando offering is sure to PETRIFY readers! Historians mark the Dodecanese campaign as one of the last major German victories of World War Two. What the history books fail to mention, though, is that Allied and German forces weren't the only things flying over that region! For something far older and deadlier stalked the skies above the Aegean, as Flight Lieutenant Pierce Sullivan was about to discover!

You’ll need a STONY resolve to read Issue 5589 as Dominic Teague brings legends to life as gorgons attack! What’s more, Issue 5589 features Graham Manley's debut on Commando interiors and a Neil Roberts cover directly inspired by Ian Kennedy’s cover for 1478 ‘Target — Crete!’ You may want to read this Commando through a mirror – just in case it turns you to stone, readers!
