The next set of Commando (Issues 5915-5918) are on sale from Thursday, 18th December 2025…

5915 (Home of Heroes): Crocker’s Crew  Out of the chaos of World War Two, Captain Matt Crocker of the British Commandos and his crack team had carved themselves a niche as the best of the best when it came to sabotage. It was with a grim confidence, then, that he accepted their next mission — infiltrate and destroy a Nazi-occupied power plant in the Norwegian mountains. 

However, the SOE’s mysterious Captain Berry insisted on accompanying, and Crocker began to worry what his ulterior motives might be. A commando’s life is never an easy one!

5916 (Gold): Mighty Maguire Tom Maguire had collected things all his life. Butterflies, antique weapons, foreign stamps… there wasn’t a corner of his bedroom that didn’t hold some unusual trophy.

Then war came and Tom was sent to Burma, but he still found time for his collecting… although now it was the fierce Kachin tribesmen he was interested in. He collected a whole army of them — the fightingest bunch of men the Japanese had ever been up against!

5917 (For Action and Adventure): Union Jack Jackson: Kamikaze Ken

Union Jack Jackson and his pals were on a mission to steal an experimental radar receiver from the Japanese when they hit a hurdle. The USS Red Bank, the destroyer they were going to sail away on, was sunk by Japanese suicide pilots… men who would self-sacrifice their lives to sink their enemies.

So then, why was one of the pilots — Kamikaze Ken — floating, alive, in the water beside Union Jack Jackson?

5918 (Silver): The Short and The Tall

Private Danny Miller was just a little bloke, but that didn’t mean he couldn’t take care of himself. No, he was a tough customer who could cope with just about anything.

What he couldn’t put up with was his mate Brian who was determined to pay the little fellow back for saving his life. Because Brian’s schemes always ended up getting Danny into more trouble — not less!
