It’s getting colder out there, but luckily there’s enough explosive action in the next round of Commando comics to keep you warm all winter long! Issues 5803-5806 go on sale from today, the 21st November, 2024!
5803: Codename Warlord: Hit Piece
Lord Peter Flint — otherwise known as Codename: Warlord - always relied on his cowardly persona to ensure no-one suspected him of being one of Britain’s top secret agents!
So when a society journalist tried to write a character assassination hit piece on him, that was the least of Flint’s worries. His top priority was stopping a cell of hitmen from completing an actual assassination plot, and halting the Italian invasion of Monte Carlo at the same time!
It’s all in a day’s work for Warlord!

5804: The Spy That Never Was
When you find two men, one unconscious, handcuffed together and in the middle of the desert, you want to know what’s going on. And when one says he’s a Military Police Sergeant taking a suspected spy to stand trial, it sounds a fair enough answer.
But when the other guy tells you that the Sergeant is really the spy — which do you believe?
That was the question facing Corporal Jack Wills — and an awful lot of men’s lives depended on him getting the right answer.
The only tough choice our readers are facing this month is which brilliant Commando issue to read first! I spy a classic caper with all the twists and turns of a crime thriller, but with typical Commando grit!

5805: Tomasz and the Return Journey
Scotland, 1940. Polish corporal, Tomasz Zielinski, has never been one to suffer bullies lightly. Now though, his hot headedness has landed him in a glasshouse. When a mysterious message arrives in his cell, an opportunity for freedom arises. Little does Tomasz know, his superiors have much bigger plans for him. His skills as a soldier are needed elsewhere. The time has come for him to return home.
Witness the triumphant return of Corporal Tomasz! For him though, it’s no traditional homecoming, full of dogfights, sniper fire, and even a shootout on top of a train – next stop, adventure!

5806: The Cave of Hercules
On the island of Sicily, there was a secret cave — the Cave of Hercules. Hidden for centuries, it was rumoured to contain treasure beyond price. And now one man, Horace Gee, had cracked the ancient clues and worked out just exactly where it must be. But there was one big snag — the cave was in enemy-held territory and Horace was a sailor, unlikely to go ashore with the troops. However, where a chap like Horace was concerned you could never be sure what was going to happen next!
We can’t overemphasise the strength of this issue – it’s truly Herculean! With a muscular script from roger Sanderson and epic artwork by Carrion and Jeff Bevan, this story certainly isn’t a trial to get through!
