COMMANDO 1983
All
the Commando titles for 1983 (1667 –
1762) |
The price of Commando increased to 20p in
October.
Temeraire did his one and only cover for
Commando 1744 ‘Tank Killer’, nice style and a pity he did not do any more.
Also Griera did his one and only cover with
1738 ‘Get That Man’.
Sutton was another artist who did a one-off
cover with 1678 ‘The Fjord Fighters’.
And Alan Philpott did the first of his covers
with 1705 ‘Count-Down to Danger’.
Looking at this year’s covers, I think I
spotted another film star with 1747 ‘Flash-Point’, the German looks like
Gregory Peck as played in the film ‘The Guns of Navarone’.
Regular
cover artists this year were:
J. Bevan, Ron Brown, Lopez Espi, Fernando,
Griera, Jacono, Ian Kennedy, Longaron, Millar, Alan Philpott, Sanfeliz, Scholler,
Sutton, Temeraire.
Reprint
cover artists:
Ian Kennedy, Gordon Livingstone, Jordi Penalva.
Favourite
covers:
A one-off
cover by Griera 1738 ‘Get that Man!’.
I also
liked 1709 ‘The Roar of the Typhoon’ Alan Philpott.
The first two issues each month are reprints the original/new issue
