COMMANDO TITLES

 (POCKET HOMEPAGE) 

 

 

Created: December 20th 2024       

 

Ferg Handley was born in Chichester, Sussex but has lived in Scotland for most of his life.

According to my notes Ferg Handley’s first published Commando script was for #3102 ‘Lucky Lenny’ December 1997 and to date he has written over 350 scripts which at present makes him the second most prolific writer behind Cyril G. Walker’s 380 scripts, as Ferg is still writing scripts for Commando this total could well be surpassed.

To date in his 27year stint for Commando there have been only four reprints.
