High stakes action in four brand-new Commando issues 5667-5670! Hitting shelves today, Thursday 3rd August, 2023, we’ve got adventures across the globe from the North African Desert to Norway, and Bastogne to Burma!
5667: Helicopter Heist
Before the war, Leonard Young was an enthusiastic aeronautical engineer who wanted nothing more than to build and design the next great air machine —the helicopter. But when he enlisted, the last thing Leonard expected was to be thrust into action, assisting in the theft of a German prototype aircraft in North Africa!
With the help of a group of LRDG men commanded by the indomitable Captain Michael Ross, Leonard was led on the dangerous mission behind enemy lines. But it’s going to take everything they’ve got to survive stealing the helicopter from right under Rommel’s nose!
Who doesn’t love a heist? Well, Colin Maxwell’s main character Leonard Young for one! But Leonard’s going to be pulled into action whether he likes it or not! Featuring amazing interiors from Paolo Ongaro and a bright cover from Neil Roberts!

5668: Last Laugh
Pilot Officer Andy Howard and his crew were really up against it. Forced to crash-land in the snowy wastes of occupied Norway, they had started out on foot to deliver their Lanc’s cargo of urgently-needed weapons to the resistance.
Now an enemy ski patrol had stumbled on them, and despite the fight Andy and his boys put up, one Jerry had got away to raise the alarm. The net was drawing tighter...
Three Commando legends come together in this classic 1970s issue. Heavyweight artists AC Kennedy and Ian Kennedy do an amazing job on interiors and cover, while RA Montague’s story has you gripped on every page!

5669: Hellcat vs Tiger
The Siege of Bastogne, 1944. The M18 Tank Destroyer, also known as the Hellcat, was one of the most effective tank destroyers of the Second World War.
The Panzerkampfwagen Tiger Ausf. B, also known as the King Tiger or Tiger II, was a beast feared on the battlefield, formidable and threatening.
You might think you know the outcome of this duel, but Sergeant Mike Delaney was the commander of this Hellcat — and he wasn’t going to go down without a fight! That was if he could put the death of his last crew behind him...
Veteran writer Ferg Handley is teamed up with newcomer artists Alberto Saichann and Phil Robinson in this tank vs tank issue, as Commando welcomes new artist Phil Robinson with his debut cover!

5670: The Long Way Back
The war in Burma was fierce and savage, and both sides had to make sacrifices. But Private Danny Porter could not believe his eyes when he saw that the bridge across the Bantang River had been blown up by the British — leaving scores of their own troops stranded on the opposite bank!
This was only the start of Danny’s long way back. Soon he was to find himself turning about and going deep into enemy territory, the last place on earth any sensible soldier would want to be.
This classic Commando is a fan-favourite for good reason. With an Ian Kennedy cover on Blasco’s interiors to Bill Fear’s intricate story — this isn’t one to miss!
