5843: A Dame to Die For
December 7th, 1941. Rick Brennan was a private eye before the war, but there wasn’t much call for detective work in the Ardennes, just cold nights and bad sleep. When he got himself three days leave in Paris, he thought he had it made – finally, some rest.
But fate had other plans. After running into his old friend, Larry Carmichael, he found himself pulled into the kind of racket he thought he’d left behind in LA.
It all started when Carmichael introduced him to his new girlfriend – she really was a dame to die for…
We’ve all been there – one minute you’re reconnecting with an old friend on the streets of Paris, the next you’re the target of international assassins. A Commando in the vein of hardboiled noir detectives like Philip Marlow himself from the debut of writer Sean Mason and with smoky cover by Simon Pritchard!

5844: Zero Smasher
One mistake by Squadron Leader Vic Harper caused the loss of four valuable Liberator bombers and also cost Vic the command of his squadron. He was posted to a forgotten base to sit out the war where he could do no more damage.
But that didn’t suit Vic. He decided to wipe out his mistake by downing any and every Japanese plane that came his way. No wonder they began to call him...Zero Smasher!
We love a rebel here at Commando, a maverick, a handsome loner who plays by his own rules… Well, that’s exactly what readers will find in Vic Harper, and his perilous aerial acrobatics are sure to put anyone’s head into a tailspin! With stunning artwork from Ian Kennedy and Mira!

5845: Smokejumpers
Lieutenant Alvin Siskel of the 99th Pursuit Squadron was one of the best flyers amongst the famous Tuskegee Airmen. But after accidentally crossing the bullying Captain Jack Calhoun, he’s stripped of his rank and forced into service as a ‘smokejumper’ — paratrooper firemen fighting forest fires on American soil. But things start to heat up for the smokejumpers when Japanese Fu-Go explosive balloons begin drifting across the Pacific, causing more forest fires than ever before. All in a day’s work for Siskel – but that’s not all the Japanese have planned!
A rare stateside adventure in this brand-new fiery story! The Fu-Gos might leave our heroes feeling the burn, but their determination can’t be extinguished so easily – an un-fire-gettable issue that’s sure to ignite your imagination from writer Steve Taylor set aflame by smoking-hot artwork by Vicente Alcazar and Marco Bianchini!

5846: Bound by Duty
Military policemen have a job to do. Sometimes they don’t enjoy it, but they are duty bound to get it done. But what happens when an MP has a prisoner who saves his life and also convinces the policeman of his innocence?
More than that – what if the prisoner turns out to be a hero?
Our final issue this round has more twists and turns than a twisty-turny thing! Who is telling the truth? Who really is the traitor? An edge-of-your-seat thriller that’ll keep you guessing right up to the last page!
