Magazine
Commando For Action and Adventure, formerly known as Commando War Stories in Pictures, and colloquially known as Commando Comics, is a British comic book magazine that primarily draws its themes and backdrops from the various incidents of the First and Second World Wars. It was first published in July 1961 and is still in print today. It is noted for its distinctive 7 × 5½ inch, 68 page format that became a standard for these kinds of stories. "Commando" has remained more popular than many other British war comics, because of its character based stories and detailed black and white artwork, with only the covers in colour. It is considered by some to be one of the greatest war comics in history. Source

Steer Into Danger

From the first day of war in 1939, the soldiers, sailors and airmen of the countries opposed to Hitler’s Germany knew that it would be a long, bloody struggle before the Nazis were toppled to defeat.

Battle Squadron - Commando Comics

| Commando Comics Verified
Before the war, Mike Stallard had fought as a pilot in China, Spain and South America. He hired out his skills to the highest bidder and always ended up where the dogfights were the fiercest. Then he went to France with the RAF, fighting strictly to order in clumsy Fairey Battles against sleek, deadly Me109s. And unless the top brass listened to fighting men like Mike and let them fight in their own way, this was going to be the last war that Mike and his mates would ever fly in.
