To celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of Commando comic, which was first launched in 1961, the latest in this bestselling series of anthologies presents the ten greatest-ever commando raids stories. Raiding is what Second World War commandos were trained for, and these thrilling comic-strip yarns show true-Brit heroes assaulting all kinds of enemy targets from the land, sea and air. Stealthy, resourceful, daring and hard as nails, the commandos succeed against all odds in accomplishing their missions, whether against fanatical Nazi storm troopers or ruthless Japanese jungle-fighters. " For Action and Adventure": This epic new collection of classic stories contains plenty of both.
Ten well written WWII stories. Patriotic, virtually all men, and plenty of German cannon fodder. Plenty of heorism against the odds, yet they also acknowledge the fallibility of fighting men, the moments of weakness and doubt, and the pain. The stories are pacey and this anthology covers most of the European theatre and timeline. Good B&W artwork in the classic British comic tradition of the 60's and 70's.
