| |
| While researching his family history for a book, Ryan Carrick found out |
| that he was descended from a long line of warriors. During World War |
| II, however, he was stuck in a reserved occupation but eventually found |
| a way to join up. |
| |
| From D-Day to the Battle of the Bulge, Ryan worked as a vehicle |
| mechanic but also saw action. When two unscrupulous fellow soldiers |
| discovered that their families could be disgraced if Ryan's book were |
| to be published, they set about trying to silence him. An age-old feud |
| that had raged for centuries was about to end - once and for all. |
| Introduction |
| |
| With only a few notable exceptions - step forward |
| the Convict Commandos - recurring characters have been rare on the |
| pages of Commando over the last 50-odd years. However, we were of the |
| opinion that you, our readers, might like a series which carried the |
| story over more than one issue. With the pen of Ferg Handley recruited |
| to do the writing, we decided that a historical saga spanning many |
| generations would hit the spot. |
| |
| This saga began two years with the publication of "Eagles In Battle" |
| (No 4655) in November 2013 - with twelve further instalments, including |
| this, following after. |
| |
| As always, sincere thanks go to our comic creators. Ferg's set of |
| scripts were excellent and for one author to craft an ongoing story |
| that began in Roman times and ends in the 20th Century was no mean |
| feat. Thanks also to artist John Ridgway, who drew the first three |
| stories, and, of course, to Keith Page for illustrating the rest. They |
| all rose to the occasion. |
| |
| So, our century-striding, epic tale of three inter-linked, entirely |
| fictional families has now reached its conclusion. This has been an |
| ambitious project, something a little different for Commando but one |
| that we hope you thought worthwhile. Enjoy the final chapter. |
