The three men were part of a band of Italian bandits, a pack of wolves who roamed through the mountains to make a fat profit while their war-torn country crumbled about them. There were other similar groups in the area too, but this lot had by far the strangest leader of all…an eccentric history lecturer from England!
Introduction by Scott Montgomery, Deputy Editor
Some people might think that they know exactly what to expect from the pages of Commando. But every now and then comes a story that plays with those expectations and ultimately turns them around.
A Pack Of Wolves is a case in point. Instead of a fearless Tommy we have an utterly despicable one. Expecting a villainous German? Well, here's a noble and honourable one. And when we meet the characters who we think might be the eponymous Pack Of Wolves - we meet another pack of them soon after. Nothing is quite what it seems here.
And this memorable tale is all the better for it.
