Commando #5093: Forgotten Hero

Commando #5093

by Colin Watson, Neil Roberts (Cover Art), Jaume Forns (Artist)

Only the toughest and most tenacious troops could make it in the Commandos -- that's why the training was so formidable... and not everyone survived... So, when former Corporal Jim Main failed his training in 1945, he self-exiled to the Highlands, becoming a gamekeeper. But little did he know that decades later, the faces from his training days at Achnacarry Castle would come back to haunt him, and Jim would become involved in intercepting an international robbery gang!
