No 4463 — The Improbable Mission
Second-Lieutenant
Clement Cleveley of the Army Educational corps was a real boffin. A research
student before the war, his mathematical speciality was probability
theory…which didn’t really fit with anything in service life.
As it turned out, that wasn’t quite the case
which was how, instead of peacefully working at a classroom blackboard, Clement
ended up charging around the desert dodging bullets with a bunch of crack SAS
men.

4464 — Night And Fog
In
Occupied Europe during the Second World War, dawn raids and midnight arrests
became regular occurrences. They were feared by all the occupied peoples but

was trying to kill them…but there wasn’t supposed to be an enemy for thousands
of miles!

Commando
fans have always held Carlos Pino’s artwork in high regard, and rightly so.
Here he brings the clammy jungle and a band of dishevelled Japanese to life in
a few strokes of the pen and brush.
He’s giving form to a story by another
long-serving Commando regular, Mike Knowles, whose plots have entertained for
long enough to earn him a long-service medal and a well-deserved retirement.
Phil Gascoine did a limited number of
Commando covers, but every one was a little gem — even when he had to show an
all but invisible figure in the background.
