It’s that time again Commando fans! We’ve a bumper crop of World War 2 action for this round – as much bravery and derring-do as you can handle! Issues 5871-5874 will go on sale from today, Thursday 17th July 2025!
5871 V-1 Conspiracy
After the crushing defeat of D-Day, Germany had resorted to launching so-called vengeance weapons to terrorise the British. In response, Helen McGrath of the SOE and Captain Tim Lidster of the OSS, had been tasked with tracking down the architect of the latest portable V1 launchers – Major Walter Himpel of the Luftwaffe. Little did they know, their mission would prove to be far more than they bargained for, Himpel had a much more diabolical plan in mind - one that would target the mainland of the United States!
Better hail a cab because we’re off to the Big Apple! Rossa McPhillips makes his second appearance of the month with a story that spans continents, made all the grander by the interior art of Alejandro Perez Mesa and Marco Bianchini’s explosive cover – think this is one to miss? Forget about it!

5872 River Raiders
Officially, it’s a D.U.K.W. but it’s always called a DUCK. It’s a six-wheeled truck that can speed over land at 50 mph or move through water at five or six knots. Normally, they’re used for carrying cargo, but Sergeant Mick Nelson turned his D.U.K.W. into a floating battleship and made a name for himself as boss of the jungle rivers of Burma!
Delving back into the deep waters of Commando’s past, we’ve fished out this beauty from way back in 1969. Focused on the iconic D.U.K.W. amphibious vehicle, there’s no ducking the action in this one!

5873 Escape Act
US General Pete McAvoy wasn’t much of a fan of the theatre. He thought it was a useless distraction and waste of time when there was a war to be won.
Then the aircraft he was in was shot down on its way to the front. Now he would have to play the part of Flight Lieutenant Giles Bastow to stop the Germans working out who he was and how much intel he had. In order to escape the prison camp, he would have to put on the biggest performance of his life!
Here’s one for the thespians among you! We’re not shy about our love for drama here at Commando, but it’s never been quite so literal as in this theatrical extravaganza from Sean Mason, with spectacular interior art by Paolo Ongaro and a sensational cover by Marco Bianchini.

5874 You Need Courage
If you were ever looking for Martin Baxter, you’d always find him where the fighting was thickest and fiercest. Everyone agreed it took courage to do the things he did – all except one man that is. But even that man would soon have cause to change his tune!
