5767: Simple Simon

In 1944, the unluckiest soldier in the world, Billy Mooney, parachuted straight into enemy territory, landing right in the middle of a POW camp! The German soldiers in charge couldn’t believe they had captured the thickest Tommy in the entire fighting force.
You see, after several accidents and mishaps throughout the war, this was Billy’s last chance to prove himself — and it had gone wrong again! Would his luck turn around in the end?
    Commando welcomes writer James Moran to its ranks in his first-ever Commando. With the talents of Jaume Forns and Marco Bianchini beside him, he’s in good stead!

5768: Framed!

Mitch Mitchell had had his fill of the army. He’d lost his corporal’s stripes when they busted him for taking a swipe at an officer. But through hard work and guts, he eventually climbed back to the dizzy heights of sergeant. But then he’d lost his temper once more... and bang went his stripes again.
So now Mitch was a dangerous customer — a lone wolf with no loyalty to anyone. At least that’s the way it was until Regimental Sergeant Major Barton came along, a man with a voice like a battery of six-pounders. He’d lick Mitch into shape and hit the Nazis hard while doing it!
    Issue 5768 is a classic Commando with a classic pun title! With amazing artwork from the talented Victor de la Fuente and an eye-catching Jordi Penalva cover!

5769: Agent Crime!

Sally Grimes always had trouble with the law, especially since she was always on the wrong side of it. She had dodged more coppers than you could shake a stick at, always managing to get away scot-free. But her luck ran dry when she was clapped in irons ready for prison. That was until Captain Bob Kendricks of the SOE came a-calling. Now Grimes was going to use her ill-gotten skills as a petty criminal for the good of the British Army!
    Another debut for Commando, as cover artist Simon Pritchard is welcomed to the ranks! This SOE story written by Andrew Knighton is brought to life by Marc Viure’s splendid artwork! It would be a crime to miss this Commando!

5770: The Secret Torpedo

Lieutenant Bob Warren was an expert at defusing German bombs and mines, and was quite used to odd hours and strange workplaces. So when he was awakened in the middle of the night and told there was another job to be done, he wasn’t too concerned. But when he realised that his destination was enemy-occupied Norway, he knew that this was not going to be a routine operation. And he was right — it was going to be the most dangerous job of his life!
    Jeff Bevan’s masterful naval art is triumphant on the cover of Issue 5770 ‘The Secret Torpedo’! With RA Montague on scripting and Philpott on artwork – what an issue!
