The book contains a selection of stories, rather than religiously sticking to a consecutive run. As the episodes of The Steel Commando were usually self-contained this is ideal for a "pick and mix" collection. Artwork is by veterans such as Alex Henderson, Jack Pamby and Charles Roylance, and there's even some Captain Hurricane episodes in there too from when he met old "Ironsides" as the robot was nicknamed.
Here's the PR from Rebellion, along with a preview of the first episode. The book is a perfect treat for fans of this lighthearted war story and I'm sure it'll prove popular for many.

This fun-packed army adventure also includes an early comic strip crossover as the Steel Commando joins forces with the mighty Captain Hurricane!

I'm not a fan of war comics usually, but I am looking forward to this. I remember as fun the few episodes I read in friends comics way back when. Thanks for sharing, Lew.
