Commando goes all out with its latest set of four rip-roaring adventure stories! From birthdays to remember in the Falklands to magical kidnappings, vintage valour and classic tales of comradery, get your copies July 6th!
During the Falklands War, when the lighthouse at Gideon’s Point went dark, British Marines led by Sergeant Steve Dennison were sent in to shed light on the situation. They soon found the area crawling with Argentine soldiers but before they could engage them, the Argentinians vanished out of sight. Where could a whole platoon disappear to?
Headstrong Marine Brian Imrie took it upon himself to get to the bottom of the mystery and tore off on his own. But he was going to find out that his twenty-first birthday was going to go off with a bang!
A tense tale from Dominic Teague taking place in one location over one night — the ticking timebomb ups the stakes to 11 in this one!

Equus asinus — that’s the proper Latin name for the weirdest weapon used by the Allies in the Second World War. It sounds unusual, but in fact it’s only the name for a common pack-mule. And the story of how one particular mule, a Commando squad, and a hotch-potch of assorted Greeks went into battle against the deadly Nazi war machine makes mighty exciting reading.
One of Commandos beloved animal-based stories, this classic comic adds to the tradition bringing plenty of heart with it.

Abracadabra! Alakazam! Voila! During the war, the Amazing Armand was a two-bit magician performing on Civvy Street. Sure, he could pull a rabbit from a hat or tell you what playing card was behind your ear but the last place you’d expect a conjurer of cheap illusions was on a mission with British Commandos!
For The Amazing Armand’s next trick, he would have to perform a disappearing act on a high-ranking German officer! Only he’d have to go into Nazi‑occupied France to magic this Nazi away — and that was the last place he wanted to be!
Brent Towns’ story gives plenty for newcomer to Commando Luis Hernandez to sink his artistic teeth into, while also inspiring a tour-de-force cover from veteran Neil Roberts!

Most men of the RAF Coastal Command were brave and determined, totally dedicated to their job of saving countless ditched aircrews. But Australian navigator Red Dooley thought otherwise — he’d been posted from Bomber Command and he reckoned he was wasting his time and missing out on the real action. But Red was about to realise that his job was as important as any other… he’d soon discover that dropping airborne lifeboats to stranded airmen was doing as much to win the war as dropping bombs.
A classic Commando reprinted for the first time since 1980, this story speaks to Commando’s core values of duty and brothers in arms.
