The Phantom Commando

From 1959 to 1964, Horwitz published The Phantom Commando, a 16-issue Australian comic series that followed the wartime exploits of a lone, masked soldier operating behind enemy lines. Most frequently written and drawn by the duo of John Dixon and Maurice Bramley, the series fused gritty action with a pulp hero sensibility, carving out a distinct niche in the Australian comic landscape. It stands as a notable example of locally produced war comics from the era, showcasing the talents of two key creators who would become synonymous with the country's comic scene.
