Monty and Hitler in Commando Team-Up action!


Ok, the above headline isn't strictly true, and the synopsis tells us that all is not as it seems, but I couldn't resist leading this item with that great Carlos Pino cover.

Just back from my blog break for a quick post, then back to the front, er, I mean the drawing board. Here's the latest intelligence report from Commando HQ from Editor Calum Laird...


Commando 4343: KILLER SHARK

Hitler’s U-boats were the killer sharks of the Second World War, roaming the oceans of the world, terrorising the shipping lanes. Gerhard Hagen, a Nazi to the core, was one of the most ruthless skippers of those hunter submarines.

Commando 4345: Operation “Ice-Breaker”

The Arctic ice cap — freezing, windswept and inhospitable. In the period when East and West faced each other in a tense nuclear stand-off, many things were concealed on and below its wasted landscape. From submarines to top-secret bases, the cloaking ice covered all.

Commando 4346: Seeing Double

So, how did the epitome of evil, German Fuhrer Adolf Hitler, join forces with a sworn enemy — Britain’s most famous military leader, General Bernard Montgomery — and unwittingly become involved in a madcap, hair-raising adventure in the North African desert?
As you might have guessed, things aren’t quite as they seem. In fact, you may well be... SEEING DOUBLE
