Issue Description

From one German sentry to another went the whisper, "Achtung! Danger...Danger...Commando raid!"

But who can stop the men in the green berets?

Introduction

Commando heroes have always been "everyman" heroes - without capes and superpowers. But, if you'd read the bares bones of what it's proposed that our two Commandos will achieve, you'd be forgiven for thinking that it would take the efforts of two supermen (with a small s) to pull it off. Yet, such is the skill of the story-telling everything seems very plausible and believable. Frantic and breathless, perhaps, but very credible.

The plot is helped by some very accomplished black and whites. There are lots of small stylistic touches that add depth and movement. In some places they even give Ken Barr's cover work a run for its mone...and he's got the advantage of colour.
