Commando 5795-5798


As Halloween approaches, we’ve got the next creepy crop of boo-tifully illustrated Commandos to make you howl at the moon! Issues 5795-5798 go on sale from today, 24th October, 2024.


5795: Strange Frequencies

The camp is deserted, no sign of life anywhere. But what’s that you hear among the shifting sands in the barren North African desert? Maybe in the distance there is the drum and thump of artillery like a heartbeat, but not here, not even the howls of the wind interrupt the horrible stillness.
    That is until you hear it… the crackling of a radio set to a strange frequency, and the rasping, ghoulish voice calling your name…
    “Listen.…You must listen…You must listen…”
    This fangtastic story of a haunted radio from creepmeister Dan McGachey features fa-BOO-lous art by Juan Fernandez and a bone-chilling cover by Marco Bianchini. Definitely not one to read with the lights off!

5796: Castle of Doom

They stood face to face and shook hands like the best of friends. One was Major Pete Lambert and the other, Franz Becker, an officer in the hated German SS. And all around them were hot guns smoking and the acrid smell of war...
    This is one castle you don’t want to trick or treat at! A classic Commando adventure written by writer Allan to get the blood pumping – just watch out for vampires! Featuring some grisly cover and interior art by Gordon C Livingstone.

5798: Ghost Tiger

Deep in the steaming jungle of India, where the tiger is king, there dwelt a sinister spirit. It was known as Thuggee Raj, a ghost tiger which nightly prowled the forest paths, striking terror into every heart.
    Any man who scoffed at it was foolish indeed, for Thuggee Raj had a power no man could overcome — the power of life and death!
    What’s worse than a man-eating tiger? A man-eating tiger that also happens to be a ghost! This clawsome story was dug out of the deep jungle of the Commando archives especially for you to sink your teeth into this spooky season!
