Issue Description
The Commandos were tough, dedicated men who had risen from the funeral pyre of Dunkirk to hit back at the Nazis with blazing tommy guns and a brand of courage that was unique. Their motto…United We Conquer!
But there was one man who mocked that brave motto when he crept ashore on raids with his Commando mates. They all knew him as "Mitch" Mitchell, but German High Command knew him better as Leutnant Hans Reister of the SS.
And what the Commandos didn't guess was that each time he was leading them straight into a German ambush…
Introduction by Calum Laird, Editor
A traitor amongst Commandos? Not only would the man himself have to be bold, but the author of his tale would have to be similarly brave. Sustaining a story of treachery amongst a series of raids where the spy would have to avoid shooting his countrymen takes a lot of ingenuity. Fortunately for us, Eric Hebden succeeds admirably. And he manages to confound our expectations, too.
Alvaro, who did a score or more of the early Commando covers, sets the scene for the story and between his covers, Amador does a fine job of carrying the tale along with strong black and white work - even when he's supposed to be drawing a red hat.
All in all a surprising yarn…for all the right reasons.
