Issue Description

Climbing dazedly from the shattered cockpit of his hijacked Zero, Pilot Officer Bill O'Hara was relieved to find himself still in one piece.

But his troubles weren't over yet. A deadly duel was about to begin on the side of a mountain will Bill, unarmed and exhausted, against a fanatical enemy officer out for revenge!

Introduction

After reading this story, part of me was tempted to go back through the pages and check for any rogue kitchen sinks that I may have missed - as author David Heptonstall seems to have thrown everything else into the mix. Duel In The Snow is a heady brew of aerial dogfights, Commando training, top secret missions, stolen Japanese Zeros and Himalayan mountaineering.

I think it's fair to say that only in Commando can there be so much scope for such a gloriously entertaining, action-packed concoction, brought vividly to life by Ibanez's stylish art and Ian Kennedy's typically atmospheric cover.
