Issue Description

At an Allied HQ in Italy, an American officer was being held under guard. He had been tried and found guilty of treason and at dawn he would face the firing squad.

Miles away the only two men who knew he was innocent were charging through the night to his rescue, shooting their way through the Nazi lines in a Cromwell tank.

And soon the sun would rise…

Introduction

There's something about the name Kennedy that has a special appeal to Commando readers; which is why there were so many requests to see this book (and some of its brothers) one more time. In this case the Kennedy is Cam who was displaying his own brand of linework behind one of Jordi Penalva's typically all-guns-blazing covers. Cam's line, movement and characterisation are all here - qualities that would make him one of the best comics artists ever.

But an artist is nothing without a script and Allan's gives plenty of scope for illustration. If you want to compare this with commando No 4720 - another espionage story - you'll see how two writers can take the same theme…but make it different.

Go on, buy them both!
