Issue Description

Just imagine two brilliant fighter pilots flying off the same aircraft-carrier, hating each other more than they hated the enemy.

Just imagine them being dumped on a desert island with one fighter plane between them, and being told to get on with the war.

Just imagine what a feud that was.

Introduction

Originally this was called "Pete's Private War" and, once you've read it, you'll see why. The tale takes the Australian reputation for working outside the normal rules and strains it to the absolute maximum to bring you a story that you know can't be true…but you really want it to be at the same time.

Peter Ford's crisp and detailed black and white artwork helps out with the willing suspension of disbelief as he makes everything look so plausible. While Ken Barr's bright yellow Zero on the cover hints at the fireworks inside.

All in all, a killer Commando and no mistake.
