Lord Peter Flint – AKA Warlord – is back for a new, high-stakes mission in the next Commando set. Alongside that, we have a story about the fiercely brave Polish resistance fighters in occupied 1944 Warsaw, as well as two fantastic, reprinted tales. Issues 5947-5950 on sale today, April 9th.
5947: Codename Warlord: Shadow Sands
Lord Peter Flint is on one of his most dangerous — and important — missions yet!
‘Shadow Sands’ is the codename for the biological weapons project collecting anthrax spores on an isolated Maunsell Fort off the coast of England. Flint’s handler, Kingpin, was at the fort when it was raided by a team of German commandos and Professor Kranz’s robot Panzermen. Now he’s been taken hostage along with the leading scientists!
But Intelligence believes someone on board the fort helped the Germans — and they suspect Kingpin! Kingpin, a traitor?! It can’t be true!
Warlord has until midnight to rescue the hostages and clear Kingpin’s name!

5948: Desert Double-Cross
The German soldier stood well braced, Schmeisser shuddering in his strong hands and cutting down the attackers. He had learnt the ways of war in France, Crete, North Africa — a tough school for any soldier. And beside him, firing with equal calmness, was a British soldier — a veteran hardened in the battles of Dunkirk, Tobruk, El Alamein.
That day, many British and German soldiers fought the hardest fight of their lives in the ruins of an old desert fort. Not against each other, but as allies!

5949: Phoenix From The Flame
Warsaw, summer of 1944. Not everyone had bowed down to the German occupation. Like other brave members of the underground Polish Home Army,
Monika Proch risked her life for her country to be free.
The previous year, Warsaw had seen how cruelly the Nazis could crush rebellion, with the utter destruction of the Jewish ghetto. Monika vowed the rest of her city would not receive the same fate.
Together with the other men and women of the Resistance, they would rise against the Nazi invaders like a… PHOENIX FROM THE FLAMES!

5950: Swamp Strike
If you’re a member of a platoon trekking through miles of hostile jungle to attack a secret enemy supply dump, you want the man in command to be a cool, reliable bloke whom you can trust.
But what happens when you’re led by someone whose lies nearly landed you in prison?
