New Year, New Commandos! Quick, march to your newsagent


Here's the first batch of DC Thomson's Commando comics for 2013 - and there's a fine selection on offer...

Commando No 4567 - Collision Course
Story: Alan Hebden Art: Keith Page Cover: Keith Page

So how did Flight Lieutenant Kerrie Matheson, in his unarmed DH 86 transport, end up hurtling straight towards an enemy Bloch 220 Auvergne aircraft?

Well, it had all started off as a routine secondment from his posting at Coastal Command. He became part of a mission to build a long distance air bridge, ferrying Allied planes from French-held Africa to Egypt.

Then his routine flying duties took a deadly turn - with mystery, espionage and murder setting him on a... Collision Course.


Commando No 4568 - Eighty-Eight!
Story: Alan Hebden Art: Jaume Forns Cover: Ian Kennedy

It's not every day you see a German 88mm gun being operated by a group of “Fighting Kiwis” - New Zealanders from a British and Commonwealth Expeditionary Force battling in Greece, determined to hold back the German onslaught.

But this was not an everyday story.

Thanks to a bungling SS officer, the Kiwis were able to help themselves to the enemy artillery's pride and joy. Having been relentlessly pounded by the very same guns, they decided to give the Jerries a taste of their own medicine!


Commando No 4569 - Beach-Head!
Originally Commando No 54 (January 1963)
Story: Parsons Art: Gordon Livingstone Cover: Ken Barr

Johnny Malloy was a little guy - five foot zero or thereabouts, but he wore the coveted Commando flash on his shoulders.

He seemed lazy, good-for-nothing, a coward - yet every man in his platoon was ready to die for him when it came to the bit.

Who was he then - this odd little Commando? Just about the most important guy in the British army, that's all!

"All the ingredients for a classic Commando story are here," enthuses Calum Laird, editor. "a dicey but vital mission, a group of soldiers who don't trust a comrade…and Gordon Livingstone's inimitable artwork. I say inimitable with confidence as many have tried and none has succeeded.

"Flipping open the Ken Barr cover in 1963, you'd be met with a script and art which neatly capture all the fine details of service life, thanks to a generation that lived through a world war and National Service. There's a priceless authenticity about this. And you can have it for only £1.50. What a bargain"


Commando 4570 - Arctic Victory
Originally Commando No 2177 (April 1988)
Story: David Heptonstall Art: Terry Patrick Cover: Ian Kennedy

After a few weeks in a certain squadron of the RAF Regiment, Phil Adamson was beginning to wonder if this unit really was just for the defence of airfields. What with unarmed combat instruction, learning about explosives and a mock-raid on a local flying school, it was more like training for a crack Commando squad.

He didn't know how right he was!

"Although it first appeared in the Spring of 1988, it somehow seems fitting to republish author David Heptonstall's icy tale in mid-January," says Deputy Editor Scott Montomery, "when the chill of winter still in the air.

"Artist Terry Patrick's rendering of Arctic Scandinavia - especially on pages 26 and 27 - is very effective and, as always, cover legend Ian Kennedy does Commando proud.

"The story seemingly starts as an air yarn but then changes gear, morphing into a 'men-on-a-mission' adventure with a hint of espionage. It's a little bit different."

Tank KIllers and Traitors lurk in latest Commando comics


There's a fine mix of old and new to the latest Commando releases, on sale today in all good newsagents and for iPad and other IOS devices.

Commando No 4535 - The Fighting Gendarme
Story: Peter Grehan Art: Olivera Cover: Janek Matysiak

A Gendarme, a French policeman. That's what Raoul Laurent was when World War II broke out. Sergeant Laurent decided he wasn't going to bow down before the occupying Nazis, escaping to England to join the Free French Forces and become a Commando.

In time, Raoul was selected for a dangerous mission back in his homeland, helping the French Resistance to locate and destroy vital coded documents that were in Nazi hands. To succeed, though, Raoul would have to rely upon an old adversary from his police days. Not only that, pretty soon it looked like his new allies had a traitor in their midst...


Commando No 4536 - The Tank-Killers
Story: Stephen Walsh Art: John Ridgway Cover: John Ridgway

Tank, panzer, char d'assault, tahk. Call them what you will, these armoured giants struck fear into all infantrymen who faced them in battle.

Not quite all, though. This is the story of four men brought together by the fates of war who challenged the metal monsters and called themselves... The Tank-Killers!


Commando No 4537 - Fly Fast Shoot First!
Originally Commando No 14 (December 1961)
Story: Peter Ford Art: Peter Ford Cover: Ken Barr

The machine-guns chattered their chant of death, the Spitfire spat its eight-forked tongues of flame - and from the wide blue sky tumbled another charred fragment of the once-mighty Luftwaffe.

Mike Arden was a flying fool: a pilot with only one fault. In his eagerness to get into a fight he left more than burned-out Nazis behind him - he left a trail of broken Spitfires too!

So they gave him a choice: Transfer to Coastal Command or stay on the ground.

Mike transferred - and did things with a four-engined bomber that had never been done before!

"I hope nobody minds that I've dipped into 1961 for a story to give a fresh airing but this one really does deserve to be seen again," notes editor Calum Laird of this latest representation of a classic story from Commando. "It's one of very few Commandos to have been written and drawn by the same person and it shows - some of the full-page illustrations which pepper this book are little masterpieces all on their own. If the narrative comes off second-best, it's only because the art treatment is so accomplished.

"Oh and there's no truth in the story that Ken Barr's excellent cover features a Spitfire only because we couldn't fit a Liberator in the space."


Commando No 4538 - Dakota Pilot
Originally Commando No 2087 (May 1987)
Story: Bill Fear Art: Terry Patrick Cover: Ian Kennedy

For Ben Smart, Dakota pilot, things had been going badly. Bad luck seemed to follow him wherever he went, and always managed to strike where it could do the most damage.

And this time, of all places, it had to be the terrible battle of Arnhem

"As usual, Ian Kennedy has done Commando proud with his stunning front cover," notes Depurty Editor Scott Montgomery, "producing an amazing image - a snapshot telling you everything you should expect from the story that appears in between the front and back pages.

"Aerial action and thrills abound, of course, but there's also a solid, character-driven story - by writer Bill Fear and interior artist Terry Patrick - about a pilot who believes he is jinxed and wonders if he's a danger to himself and his comrades.

Commando: Spot The Difference

Commando 4514 and predecessors
Twenty-five years ago Commando published an issue entitled "Roll Of Honour" featuring a cover by artist Ian Kennedy. To celebrate the 65th anniversary of D-Day in 2009, Carlton Books released the then latest of their Commando reprint books entitled D-Day: Fight Or Die! with 12 issues reprinted inside it and a cover that was familiar but different - the field of battle had become a Normandy beach with landing craft added. When the book was reprinted in 2011, it lost the 'D-Day 65' logo as well as two stories bringing it into line with then current practise of publishing 10 story reprint books.

The issue that the cover was originally for, "Roll of Honour", has just been reprinted as part of Commando's Silver Collection. The writer was Commando regular Cyril Walker while the internal artwork was by regular Warlord artist Terry Patrick. Commando's Deputy Editor Scott Montgomery describes the issue in his introduction: "A neat little story this. At the heart of it is a murder mystery that spans the last few years of world War II and, as the title suggests, the honour of a regiment is at stake — but also much more… Writer Cyril Walker spins a good yarn as always, while Terry Patrick’s art is a little bit different for Commando, with almost cartoony faces and thick black lines. It’s well-suited to this character-driven plot. Finally, there’s Ian Kennedy’s cracking cover to finish things off."

Ian Kennedy will be appearing at the Gordon Highlanders Museum on Monday 8 July 2012 as part of the museum's free "Meet The Commando Team" event. There are more details of this and the Steadfast Commando artwork exhibition at the museum's website.

The batch of four Commandos available this fortnight are -

Commando 4511No 4511 – The Secret Saboteur
Story: Mac MacDonald
Art: Keith Page
Cover: Keith Page

The Allies were gearing up to invade North-West Europe and the Germans knew it. Everyone was on high alert, with the Gestapo ruthlessly rooting out saboteurs and meting out rough justice to the civilian population. In one area, though, they were plagued not by sabotage but by a series of — for them — unhappy accidents wrecking their war machine. But were they accidents? One ex-Hamburg policeman — Tomas Merkel — wasn’t convinced, no matter what his Gestapo boss thought.


Commando 4512No 4512 – Thunder In The Jungle
Story: Mac MacDonald
Art: Morahin
Cover: Janek Matysiak

The Far East, 1944. It was widely believed that tanks could not cope with jungle warfare but the British were determined to prove this notion wrong — and were equally determined to regain Burma from the clutches of the Japanese. Second-Lieutenant Peter Wright had been an infantry officer but he and his unit had retrained as a tank crews. Now they were under pressure to deliver results…and their M3 Stuart light tanks would soon clash with the metallic might of their Japanese Type 95 counterparts. Could the green British tankies work as a team and survive the
THUNDER IN THE JUNGLE


Commando 4513No 4513 – Knife For A Nazi (Originally No 16, January 1962)
Story: Elliot
Art: Salmeron
Cover: Ken Barr

Up and over the cliffs they called unclimbable, swiftly and silently across country, deep behind enemy lines they came, the fearless men with blackened faces. These were the men they sent on a mission when all else had failed — These were the Commandos. On this raid it was not the enemy they feared, but the stranger in their ranks, the explosives expert who was the key man of the whole operation, and who by his inexperience and rashness became the danger man! Here is the story of how that man won the admiration and respect of the world’s finest fighting men.

In his introduction to this reprint editor Calum Laird says, "A new boy having to prove his worth to an established group, and in particular its leader, is a well-used theme in all fiction, although in just issue 16 it was new to Commando comics. Here author Elliot uses that set-up to bring an extra tension to an action-packed Commando special mission and in so doing makes it more than just a war story. Mind you, he had to do something a little bit special to live up to the promise of Ken Barr’s super-menacing cover. Can you feel how sharp that knife is? The black-and-whites from Salmeron have wonderful British-ness — the Commando CO’s ‘tache in particular. This Spanish artist served Commando for many years, and this example shows you why."


Commando 4514No 4514 – Roll Of Honour (Originally No 2143, December 1987)
Story: C.G. Walker
Art: Terry Patrick
Cover: Ian Kennedy

Jewel theft and murder — not the sort of things that would bring glory to a regiment’s roll of honour if any of its men were suspected of such crimes. That’s why someone was determined to keep a very big secret to himself. But there was someone equally determined to get at the truth, no matter what the cost!

Soviet Spitfires and Desert Dangers in new Commandos


Four more Commandos are now on sale, with new stories from Alan Hebden and Mac Macdonald, the latter's 'Soviet Spitfire' sure to interest fans of Battle's classic 'Johnny Red' strip. Here's the gen...

Commando No 4503: Operation Ultra
Story: Alan Hebden Art: Rezzonico Cover: Janek Matysiak

Operation Ultra as British Intelligence's top secret programme for the breaking of messages sent by Germany's Enigma machine. It was imperative that the enemy did not discover that the Allies had succeeded, or the cyphers would be changed and the war perhaps lost.

In 1943 Captain Bob Draper and Lieutenant Andy Coates of the Long Range Desert Group unexpectedly found themselves caught up in their own Operation Ultra. It was a deadly game of espionage and counter-espionage with all manner of double-crosses and treachery.

This wasn't just danger... it was ultra danger.

Commando No 4504: Soviet Spitfire
Story: Mac Macdonald Art and Cover: Carlos Pino

Paul Daly was a Spitfire pilot - a pretty good one as the DFC ribbon he wore attested. But being a fighter pilot isn't like being, say, an accountant. No, it's a risky business and all too soon a Luftwaffe shell put paid to his flying when it smashed into his knee.

Though part of him was glad to be out of danger, another part longed to get back in a cockpit once more, though he didn't think he'd have to travel to Russia to do it.


Commando No 4505: Diggers Die Hard
Originally Commando No 39 (October 1962)
Story: Eric Hebden Art: Gordon Livingstone Cover: Ken Barr

Johnny Grogan could do anything with that bulldozer of his. Build roads, clear forests, dig canals... he'd even make it sit up and beg if you asked him to.

Then came the day when he had to do something new with it, the day he had to turn it into a tank!

It was the Italian Army's fault - they should never have tried to get tough with a guy like Johnny Grogan. For they found they had a new war on their hands - Grogan's war!

"Here we have three members of the first Commando team to take to the field, playing their 'A' game, despite the hideous pun in the title willed on it by some editor or other," notes Commando Editor Calum Laird. "Eric Hebden's tale takes you to the outer fringes of the Second World War to find a nicely-off-the-wall situation. This is something Commando has often done over the tears, avoiding the obvious, seeking the novel.

"With Gordon Livingstone settled into his stride as a Commando illustrator par excellence and Ken Barr's stonking cover setting the right note this one is solid gold from start to finish. I think I might read it again."


Commando No 4506: Brigand Squadron
Originally Commando No 2073 (March 1987)
Story: Ian Clark Art: Terry Patrick Cover: Ian Kennedy

For fighter pilot David Morgan it was the proudest moment of his life when he was posted to the unit known as “Brigand Squadron”. They were famous for their brave deeds, and their motto was “Never run, never yield.”

But he was in for a nasty shock when he arrived. These men weren't fierce brigands, they were frightened sheep!

"Many people wonder how cover artist Ian Kennedy goes about his craft, and I hope he won't mind me sharing a little insight here," says Scott Montgomery, Commando Deputy Editor. "Just how does the artist manage to make each aircraft look so dynamic? Well, it's simple really. Every time Ian sits down at his drawing board he imagines that he's actually in the cockpit himself - ensuring that every picture is unique.

"You see, Ian had always wanted to be a pilot... but selfishly, we're glad that Mr Kennedy ended up drawing planes instead of flying them!"

Convict Commandos return to, er - Commando!

Here's the lowdown on the latest Commandos, on sale now in all good comic shops.

Alan Hebden's Convict Commandos make a return for the first of two adventures - the second is out in a fortnight - while a Soviet tank does its best to burst out of one of this round of covers, courtesy of Janek Matysiak's pen.

Meanwhile, the Commando team have been scurrying around in the archives for another pair of dusty but classic... well, classics. We think you'll like 'em!

Commando No 4495 - Rain Of Terror
Story: Alan Hebden Art: Manuel Benet Cover: Manuel Benet

In action once again, the Convict Commandos - Jelly Jakes, Titch Mooney, Smiler Dawson and Guy Tenby - undertake their most dangerous mission yet.

As if ruthless Nazis and silent stranglers weren't hazardous enough, even the skies are loaded with death... and it's raining down on them!

Commando No 4496 - T54 A Tankful Of Trouble
Story: Alan Hebden Art: Morahin Cover: Janek Matysiak

In 1956 the Russians invaded neighbouring Hungary to quell a popular uprising. The newly-operational T54 tank - successor to the wartime T34 - was used by them to devastating effect in the campaign.

When British Intelligence learned that Hungarian rebels had captured a fully operational T54, a team were sent to recover the mighty machine's design secrets.

But with Hungarian government troops and the Russian Army on their trail, this mission was going to be no walk in the park!

Commando No 4497 - The Gold Collection - Break-Out!
Originally Commando No 41 (October 1962)
Story: Henderson Art: Ortiz Cover: Ken Barr

Night after night the tunnel leading from the German prison camp grew longer. Day by day the hope of escape increased.

Then came THE NIGHT... and only one prisoner knew that German fingers were ready to press machine gun triggers; that cold Nazi eyes peered through the gun sights... WAITING.

"This is well-crafted tale and no mistake. Sort of Ice Cold In Alex meets The Great Escape to use a film comparison," says Commando Editor Calum Laird. "The author manages to make what could be a tedious trek across the desert riveting by introducing a…well, let's just say a wild card to stop spoiling it. It's skilfully done and works really well.

"The cover is a magnificent piece of work - you could almost see it as a film poster, too. There's menace and fear in that face rendered in blues and blacks.

"The inside art holds up its end well, lots of dark half-shadows matching the tension of the tale and plenty of movement when the action gets going.

"Well worth another airing 50 years on."

Commando No 4498 - The Silver Collection - Gold Train
Originally Commando No 2102 (July 1987)
Story: Alan Hebden Art: Terry Patrick Cover: Jeff Bevan

With the Japanese war machine making swift advances through Java every day, it was vital that the country's gold reserves were moved to safety. Captain Jan Ruiter was assigned this task. All he had to do was escort a train carrying the gold to the coast. An easy enough job, you might think. But not when the troops under your command are a bunch of rookies and a group of battle-hardened Japanese veterans are hot on your trail!

"Every Commando story needs a good hero - so more than one must be even better," feels Deputy Editor Scott Montgomery. "A mix of characters - and the ensuing conflict as they clash - is essential. Writer Alan Hebden is a master of making memorable characters.

"At first glance, the hero of Gold Train is Captain Jan Ruiter, tasked with transporting gold reserves to safety. However, for me, Aussie train driver Hogey Dubbs - and even his clanking, trusty steam engine Esmeralda is like a character - steals the show. Now let's find out if they can stop the villains from stealing their gold!"

Invasion Alerts and Commando Cooks!

Here's the latest Commando war comics on sale now in all good UK newsagents and for iPad and iPhone...

Commando No 4467 - Invasion Alert
Story: Mac MacDonald Art: Carlos Pino Cover: Carlos Pino

It was a dark and stormy night when four Home Guard men began swapping war stories while they waited for their unit's youngest member to turn up. As they talked, it became obvious they had seen action the world over, on land and in the air.

These were men tested in the fire of battle and not found wanting.

Invaders beware!

Commando 4468: Giant!
Story: Alan Hebden Art: Rezzonico Cover: Ian Kennedy

Flight Lieutenant Graham Granger, his co-pilot, Paul Denning and the crew of their RAF Beaufort couldn't believe the sheer size of the German Me323 Gigant transport aircraft when they first saw one in the skies over North Africa. As it burst from the clouds and almost collided with them, they understood why it was called the “Giant”.

Little did they know that they'd encounter more of the airborne monsters very soon. They'd even, on a daring mission to enemy territory, end up flying one!

Commando No 4469: Death Mission
Originally Commando No 34 (August 1962)
Story: Spence Art: Gordon Livingstone Cover: Ken Barr

IN BLOOD AND SAND... 200 blistering, bullet-whipped desert miles they went behind enemy lines, a handful of men on a mission that was almost certain death. Their task - to blow to smithereens Rommel's most vital supply port, crippling his infamous Afrika Korps.

Success could save thousands of Allied lives. But British desert HQ knew success was a chance in a million.

Trouble is, no-one could tell these volunteers that they were expected to fail, to be captured and killed. They wouldn't listen. They just wouldn't believe it.

For these were no ordinary soldiers...

"This story from Commando's Gold Collection is a 24-carat classic," argues Commando Editor Calum Laird. "From Ken Barr's full throttle cover to the back cover's opening line - “In Blood And Sand…” - to the final frame it's action all the way. All that with main characters who are as hostile to each other as they are to the enemy.

"Artist Gordon Livingstone, who brought this Spence strip to life, was in his first year as a Commando artist but there is his trademark fine line and eye for detail. Never was the experience of National Service in British uniform so well used.

"It may be 50 years old, but this Golden Oldie is fresh as a daisy."

Commando No 4470: Big Trouble For Corporal Hubert!
Originally Commando No 2061 (February 1987)
Story: Roger Sanderson Art: Terry Patrick Cover: Jeff Bevan

It was Christmas Eve, 1944, and a special section of tough German paratroopers were shooting at a British Army cook!

Poor Hubert - he was a very good cook indeed but he wasn't really much of a fighting man. However, the Germans had been told that he was carrying top-secret documents and that was enough for them.

Look out, Hubert!

"Here's a story from Commando's Silver Collection that's as delicious as the scrumptious fare created by its main character - army cook extraordinaire - Corporal Hubert Durande," says Deputy Editor Scott Montgomery. "The recipe for a jolly Commando yarn is as follows: Take one eccentric chef, add a dash of espionage, mix in a squad of crack British troops, a helping of Nazi villainy, and bring to the boil…

"This script was served up by Roger Sanderson, now the prolific author of Mills & Boon romance novels, and our compliments for the tasty visuals go to artists Terry Patrick and Jeff Bevan. I hope I've whetted your appetite for adventure... now enjoy the main course!"
