I thought this was the weakest of the 4 titles I purchased from Commando. The stories are much more recent that the 1960s and 70's and the art seems to have suffered. there were a few neat ideas though, VLR about snipers for example. Bright blade of courage about the navy as well as fight or die! were the best stories.

A great collection of war stories from the Commando Comics archive. 12 of the toughest Commando books ever, excellent artwork and plenty of 'mein gott', 'aaargh' 'achtung' 'banzai!' and 'gott im hammer's!' to keep the most avid boy's own adventure readers happy.
Takes me back to my youth in the 70s reading these - they have been going since the early 60s and still publish 4 stories every fortnight. Brilliant.

A wonderfully nostalgic collection of war comics redolent of my youth.

it's thick, it's heavy, it's black and white (the cover is in colour though), it's expensive :(
