Issue Description
What kind of a man would sell his own comrades to the enemy? That was what Lieutenant Dick Woolston had to find out - and FAST, before any more Long Range Desert Group patrols were ambushed and murdered by the Nazis.
Someone within the group was betraying them at every turn - but who? Dick had been a plain-clothes man at Scotland Yard before the war. But never before had he had to get his man and fight a war at the same time.
Here is a different kind of a mystery story - with blood.
Introduction
When this story first saw the light of day, Commando's tag line was "War Stories In Pictures". And that certainly describes this tale of treachery amongst the rolling sands of the North African desert as our hero, Lieutenant Dick Woolston, seems to be at war with everybody - The Germans and his own side alike.
At first glance this tale seems very similar to Commando No 4719 (if you've not bought it yet, you should - it's a belter) but as you read, you appreciate how two writers can take the same basic premise and twist it to make it their own. Cortes' artwork certainly helps - dark, brooding stuff well-suited to a tale of espionage.
Ken Barr's cover is certainly not dark or brooding but it's definitely warlike. Which is where we came in.
