Football in a Commando? Just when you think we can’t go any more left field! We can’t wait to see how many other curveballs we throw you in this set! Issues 5835-5838 go on sale from Thursday 13th March 2025!
5835: Leagues Apart
Footballers Jimmy Harris and Danny Meggs hated each other’s guts. They were bitter rivals on and off the pitch, but things all came to a head at the qualifying match for promotion to the next division. With talent scouts watching, Danny performed a devastating tackle on Jimmy which landed with a sickening crunch.
The injury caused Jimmy to be out of the beautiful game… but with World War Two looming, he wouldn’t be out of action for long!
Remember Football Picture Story Monthly? Well this is those classic football stories mixed with Commando! You know we love to have a ball, so we’re kicking off this set with a truly original story from the champions Dave and Jim Turner. Hopefully our two sporting heroes can succeed in giving those Nazis a red card!

5836: The Death or Glory Mob
There had always been a Wild in the Wessex Rifles — always an officer from this family who proved to be as courageous as his ancestors and earned for himself the glorious name... “The Wild One”.
Major Jason Wild was the man who carried on the tradition in the Second World War, and he was as tough as any of the others. And then, for the first time in history, there appeared a Wessex officer even braver than The Wild One.
This is his amazing story...
This set’s Gold issue is quite the wild ride! Thrills, chills and derring-do – and dare we say… a ghost? There’s more than meets the eye to this classic story, and we’re not just talking about the amazing artwork!

5837: Looters!
France, 1915. As trench warfare rages on between British and German forces, the stretcher-bearers are busier than ever. But while the casualties continue to pile up, fallen soldiers’ valuables have started to go walkabout – there are looters on the line! Enter Corporal Philip Baker, assigned by the top brass to go undercover and track down those responsible. But he soon finds out the trouble runs deeper than he could have ever imagined!
We had loads of great puns for this issue, but they were stolen. Seriously though, this is one story you abso-LOOT-ly won’t want to miss! With Alejandro Garcia Mangana’s art gracing the cover and interior, you’ll want to keep your copy under lock and key – it really is a steal!

5838: The End of the Line
Who was really responsible for the terrible train crash in the Boivert tunnel? Was it Marcel Lebrun, or was it the man who actually went to jail for the crime?
Some years later, in the French Resistance, Marcel lay waiting for an enemy arms train speeding towards Boivert. But a lonely figure clutching a rifle lay patiently in wait for him.
Here’s an a-TRACK-tive offering - nothing like a French resistance railway drama to let off some steam. An ENGINE-ious story of betrayal and revenge, with an incredible Jeff Bevan cover – this issue is really off the rails!
