Issue Description

The Samurai warriors of Japan in centuries past were honourable men, living by their chivalrous code of "Bushido".

In the Second World War some officers of Imperial Japan continued the noble tradition, abiding by its laws. None more so than Tomito Inosuke, a courageous fighter pilot with a burning desire for revenge - against a high-ranking VIP on his own side.

Introduction by Scott Montgomery, Deputy Editor

Commando's long-form 63-page format - they were basically like graphic novels decades before the term was coined - has always allowed authors plenty of room to develop their characters, the most important element of any story. Veteran writer Bill Fear doesn't have just one main character here - he has three, each with distinct personalities, voices and motivations. Fear's script weaves a solid action tale of honour and revenge that builds towards a satisfying, and perhaps unexpected, conclusion.

Note: Original released as Commando No 2231 (November 1988).
