Every Commando story needs a good hero - so more than one must
be even better. A mix of characters - and the ensuing conflict as
they clash - is essential. Writer Alan Hebden is a master of making
memorable characters.
At first glance, the hero of Gold
Train is Captain Jan Ruiter, tasked with transporting
gold reserves to safety. However, for me, Aussie train driver Hogey
Dubbs - even his clanking, trusty steam engine "Esmeralda"
is like a character - steals the show.
Now let's find out if they can stop the villains from stealing
their gold!

Commando No.2102 - July 1987)
