Commando #5285: Gaslight

Commando #5285

by Colin Watson, Tom Foster (Cover Art), Muller (Artist)

Deep in Nazi-occupied France, three bodies are found in the snow. The German patrolmen don't know how they got there, but getting the corpses back to the chateau seems like a great excuse for some hot cocoa... and if the bodies choose to roam about in the night? Well, who wants to be a stiff 'stiff?'
