Spooky season is here as creepy Commando issues 5895-5898 go on sale from today, Thursday, 9th October 2025!

5895 Commando vs Zombies 4

Squatted out at sea, just off Nazi-occupied Europe, was a lonely and isolated island. On it, wrapped in fog, barely visible against the gloom, was a mansion with a dark secret. 
An elite group of highly-trained British Commandos paddled towards that island, unaware of what awaited them. They would be no match for the monsters hidden beneath that house of horrors!
    The living dead return in Georgia Standen Battle’s ongoing series — this time, the story is expanded with twists, turns and riddles alongside monstrous ghouls and zombie dogs drawn by Vicente Alcazar and Neil Roberts!

5896 Sign of the Vampire Cat

In ancient Japan, a legend was handed down from generation to generation, a legend about a vampire cat whose presence meant certain death. 
    Now a specialist unit of Japanese airborne troops wore the sign of that vampire cat on their headbands. They were highly-trained killers, and wherever they landed, death stalked with them...
    The second of our creepy Commandos is a fan-favourite issue released from its coffin for the first time in over thirty years! But this is No-sferatu story about fanged Draculas after your haemoglobin — this story features bloodthirsty Japanese soldiers hellbent on destruction!

5897 Raven’s Hollow

At the height of World War Two, a trio of strangers arrived in a tiny coastal village with a hidden purpose, only to be told a trilogy of dark tales from its mysterious past... Stories of a Roman Centurion’s plans for a new road through a sacred forest are disturbed, Viking raiders encountering something in the unnatural sea mist, and a conniving witchfinder getting more than he bargained for when he rides into town! Perhaps the newcomers should heed these stories, for Raven’s Hollow has ways of dealing with unwelcome guests!
    Daniel McGachey — the ghoulish master of the horror anthology — is back, with another three stories in a Commando — each spookier than the last. What’s more, this time McGahey’s twisted tales are brought to life by Mike Donaldson’s eerie artwork in his second-ever Commando!

5898 Strange Magic 

Against all odds, three men — an Indian, an Australian and an Englishman — had escaped death in the jungle. They had been brought together in a common cause by a man who knew exactly how they were going to fight from now on. And how did he know that? 
    Because he was a magician!
    It’s a kind of magic… in McDevitt’s story for Issue 5898! With a story that will have you HYPNOTISED and has mesmerising artwork from Ibanez and Philpott!
