Issue Description

Led by Lieutenant Ted Riley, his Raiders were an elite group of Australian soldiers who had been specially picked for the task of beating the Japanese at their own game - fast-moving jungle warfare. But now the Raiders were about to face their toughest battle, for the Japanese had decided something must be done about them - something very special, and very deadly!

Introduction

After reading the first few pages, this story seems to be about a golden artefact sacred to a Burmese village and what will happen next as a distinctly dodgy character tries to get his grubby mitts on it.

However, this soon changes and we're suddenly thrust into a typically tough Commando jungle tale - one which is certainly hinted at by Jeff Bevan's moody cover, depicting a misty, menacing jungle landscape lit by a full moon. There's plenty of gritty action here, courtesy of Cyril Walker's winning script and Ibanez's sterling, pitch-black artwork.
