Commando comics art

Always used to get Warlord myself. That had a few whiffy idea in it: I remember a series featuring a despatch bike with twin bazookas mounted on it!  Also, in the wake of the Falklands, they ran a long series called "Harrier Squadron" which was set in politically unreal WWIII. IIRC, they ended up flying from the cargo holds of a converted Japanese cargo ship and attacking pacific islands held by the generic bad guys who DEFINATELY wern't Russians, but who flew MiG-23s....

I also used to get Warlord as well, right from the first issue that had the medals collection in it over parts 1 +2.  I used to love 'Harrier Squadron, I also liked Lord Peter Flinrt as well and his constant personal battle wioth his Abwher counterpart who's name I can't remember.

Yeap i used to get warlord too, we actually did Harrier squadron GR3s a couple of years ago as we found a couple of suitable annuals. Favoured stories i liked were Cassidy, Drake of E-Boat Alley, Iron Annie, and Kampfgruop Falken, but i suspect part of that was the generally the qualify of the artwork as well as the story line.

Commando's still being printed?!  I bet I can't find them in the States though.  Fond memories.

There's a few compilations released recently Tom, you should be able to get them through Amazon US.  There's a fiftieth anniversary volume that's available in the UK now as well, quick check on Amazon.com shows it should be available in the US sometime soon.

Didn't get them myself, but I used to swap my Beano's for my mates copies & also grab bags full when dragged to the dreaded jumble sale by my mother.  Got my brother a couple of the compilations as he used to read them & loves graphic novels although he was surprisingly unappreciative, I think they're kind of 'below' his current tastes.
