Commando 5907-5910


The next set of Commando issues 5907-5910 go on sale from today, Thursday, 20th November 2025 — action abundant with tanks, rifles, historic swords and the return of Cadman The Fighting Coward!


5907: Charlie’s Tank

Corporal Charlie Shaw was in the thick of it when tanks rolled into battle during the First World War. As one of the drivers of a Mark IV Male tank, he was certain nothing could stop them taking Bourlon Ridge! 
But the tanks weren’t invulnerable — and soon Charlie found himself and his tank captured by the Germans!
    Well, Sergeant Joe Shaw wasn’t about to stand around and let them capture his younger brother and his tank — even if it meant deserting his trench and rushing headlong at  the Germans to stop them!

5908: The Rifleman

Danny Willis was the best shot in the regiment. In fact, the NCOs who had trained him said he was the best shot in the entire British Army.
    When he got to the front and found himself with fighting men at last, he was all ready to show them just what he could do. But he soon discovered there was a heck of a difference between a rifle range in England and a trench in the front line in Italy.

5909: Cadman: Born to Lead

Lieutenant Gerald Cadman, the fighting coward, once again finds himself precisely where he does not want to be — on the front lines! The arrival of the heroic and aristocratic Captain Blickley-Phipps, however, gives Cadman an idea for how to improve his station.
    But for Private Tom Smith, something doesn’t seem right about Blickley-Phipps. Ruthless in his quest for glory, the captain will gladly sacrifice his own men for victory. Even Scruff the dog can smell an impending disaster, but Cadman may be too distracted to find a way out this time!

5910: Two of The Bravest

These were two swords with a history. One belonged to a fearless Arab leader, the other to a heroic Foreign Legion officer. Many years ago, they had clashed as their owners fought a respected foe.
    Now, as the desert wastes were engulfed by the Second World War, these two fine blades were destined to clash again.
