Introduction by Calum Laird, Commando Editor...
British Paras were involved in no end of covert operations in
the Second World War. This is a problem because most of them took
place under the concealing cloak of darkness.
Why is this a problem? Well, a dark night is one of the most
difficult things an illustrator can ever be called on to draw. By
definition, there's very little light to see anything by...
This doesn't seem to have put artist Cortes off, however. His
drawings of the Paras in action at night make superb use of black
ink without losing any detail, and without looking anything apart
from, well, night.
Kellie's script is as full of action as you'd want, while Ken
Barr's cover leaves you no doubt about the menace in the title.
