For two decades Cadman entertained readers as the unscrupulous cad, determined to get out of any fight in the First World War and eventually ending up fighting back against Hitler and the rise of the Nazis. Then, in 2023, Cadman weaselled his way onto the pages of Commando, the world's longest-running war comic. Those two rebooted issues, as well as selected comics from DC Thomson's Victor and The Victor Book for Boys, are collected here in DC Thomson's Heritage Comics and Commando Presents. Cadman Volume 1.
