Commando

WAR IS Hell, but that hasn't stopped it being a popular theme for boys' adventure comics.

Recent years have found many classic British war strips collected into books that have many a mainstream bookshop happy via their healthy sales, but only one comic still tells tales of daring-do on a regular basis, and that is D.C. Thomson's Commando comic.

These days Commando tells tales from throughout all of history, and one of its main writers is Ferg Handley, who is also responsible for many an enjoyable tale for Panini's Spectacular Spider-Man. An exclusive two-part interview with Ferg can be found at: www.commandomag.com a website dedicated to the war comic.
