Issue Description
Tobruk was under siege. Enemy troops lay around the port on three sides. No supplies could get through by any land route. Everything had to be brought in by sea. It was a dangerous business for the landing craft that were used as supply vessels. Slow and cumbersome, they were under constant attack by German ships and aircraft. But Lieutenant Jack Jarrat and his crew took on all comers, even the German army. It seemed that nothing could stop them!
Introduction
Here's a chance to taste a slice of classic Commando, as requested by Commando readers. Bill Fear's script leads us from sea to land and back again, twisting and turning as he weaves a tense story around the brave men fighting in North Africa and the equally brave men aboard slow-moving, lightly defended landing craft supplying them. Carmona's detailed artwork brings action and characters vividly to life. Wrap that in a classic Ian Kennedy cover and we're on to a winner.
I remember buying this one as a boy and after all these years it didn't disappoint. Little wonder this it was requested by a number of readers, including Johnny Westbridge from New Zealand.
