Issue Description

Question: How on earth could any man be as brave as Marty Finnegan said he was?

Answer: By proving it in the heat of battle, like Marty did.

What a man! What a hero!

Introduction by Calum Laird, Editor

Commando has always been about characters, many of them larger than life. And they don't come much larger than Eric Hebden's creation, Marty Finnegan, line-shooter extraordinary. If Marty had written for Commando, no-one would have believed a word. Fortunately Mr Hebden has done the honours magnificently, adding a little bit of black humour here and there for good measure.

With a brilliantly coloured cover by Ferraz and strong black-and-whites by Martin it is very much a Commando story in every way. It's not seen the light of day for 50 years but I'm sure you'll enjoy it as much as I did.

Note: Original released as Commando No 68 (May 1963).
