Originally Commando No. 750 (1973).

One Kennedy is great – but two is even better! The illustrious duo of Cam Kennedy and Ian Kennedy grace issue 5264 Hurri to the Rescue. McOwan’s script about an RAF hating solider named Jake Conroy who, once stranded on a Pacific Island, is forced to partner with two pilots, is masterfully brought to life by Cam Kennedy in one of his later issues of Commando. All this topped off with a stunning Ian Kennedy cover, doing what Kennedy does best — dazzling us with aircraft!

Story: Dominic Teague | Art: Vicente Alcazar | Cover: Neil Roberts

There’s something weird going on in the Tunisian desert! A whole platoon is missing – and the only shell-shocked survivor is talking about monster attacks. Then a whole town appears overnight, the lake drains and a mysterious thick fog clouds the area. The shapes moving through the smog are not what they seem – but they’ll kill you none the less!

Story: Ian Clark | Art: Ibanez | Cover: Dalger
Originally Commando No. 2885 (1995)

Trouble on wheels in The Outriders! Featuring motorbikes, the Transport Corps, and the Sicilian Mafia!

When the no-good Nick Bertini disappeared after a mob hit, Danny Mitchell and Mo Brookes assumed the conman had gone on ‘holiday’ to see relatives in Sicily, little did the pair expect to see him in Italy, in a cushy job in the US army!

Bertini’s re-emergence could only spell one this for the two – TROUBLE! But they only joined the army to ride motorbikes!

  1. I’m curious as to why there has been no mention as yet to the encoded messages contained within the two Warlord issues published so far, should we still be alert to the chance that this information may fall into “enemy hands”?
