They called him "The Tiger"...
He was a tattered, gaunt giant of a soldier, the lone survivor of a blazing wreck in the desert - and the shock had robbed him of his memory. He knew two things only, his name - O'Leary - and that he had a grim hatred of Germans. But if O'Leary was a man of mystery, he was also a man of many talents. He could shoot like a sniper, command an armoured car, lay field guns, and he could fight - like a tiger!
When advancing German troops over-ran the desert like jackals, preying on helpless cut-off British patrols, herding the brave, beaten men into prison cages, someone should have warned the Germans…someone should have told them...that "The Tiger" was loose!
Introduction
There's a little bit of licence in the title and on the cover of this Commando. Despite what's indicated, there aren't actually and real furry tigers in the story. The tiger in the title is the fighting fury holding the gun. Fury is a good word to use for the whole story charges along at a furious rate - something which suits inside artist Sio's style beautifully - leaving you breathless by the ending.
Ken Barr's cover, by contrast, seems a little understated...until you realise that both figures are ready to strike, and strike hard.
You might need a lie down after this one.
