Issue Description
It was known to British and Germans alike in that bullet-raked valley as "The Villa In No-Man's-Land" - a bleak, deserted house commanding vital sections of each front line. But this was no ordinary house...
Nazi officers who took possession of it were found stiff and dead at their dinner-table. British patrols who moved up to investigate were never seen again. There were rumours of mysterious sounds heard underground, of secret passages and tunnels, of invisible voices and footsteps.
Then Sergeant Gunson and three Commandos were detailed to investigate - and execute - whoever or whatever was haunting the "Villa In No-Man's-Land".
Introduction
Chaco's cover and the title tell you the whole story, don't they? A Commando squad on an assassination mission ready to strike…except that this Powell story has an unexpected surprise which takes the whole plot in a different direction. It does something that is difficult to pull off in a Commando story; it has all its action compressed into a short time frame and takes place in a very small area. That could easily be a recipe for a long series of repetitive pictures but, thanks to the skill of the author and artist Bielsa, it's not.
Go on, read it and see if you agree.
Calum Laird, Commando Editor
