Led by Lieutenant Ted Riley, his Raiders were an elite group of Australian soldiers who had been specially picked for the task of beating the Japanese at their own game - fast-moving jungle warfare. But now the Raiders were about to face their toughest battle, for the Japanese had decided something must be done about them - something very special, and very deadly!
Introduction
After reading the first few pages, this story seems to be about a golden artefact sacred to a Burmese village and what will happen next as a distinctly dodgy character tries to get his grubby mitts on it.
However, this soon changes and we're suddenly thrust into a typically tough Commando jungle tale - one which is certainly hinted at by Jeff Bevan's moody cover, depicting a misty, menacing jungle landscape lit by a full moon. There's plenty of gritty action here, courtesy of Cyril Walker's winning script and Ibanez's sterling, pitch-black artwork.
