COMMANDO 1994

(POCKET HOMEPAGE)

All the Commando titles for 1994  (2723 – 2818)

 

No price increase.

 

This year saw the first of the ‘CHALLENGE’ stories, also an early reprint to mark the D-Day landings 2763 (187) ‘D-Day Plus’.

 

I don’t know about you, but I was looking at this years covers and seemed to recognise a couple of film stars.

On the cover of issue 2775 ‘The Joker’ Dalger, the soldier looks like a young Gary Cooper and issue 2783 ‘Jack the Jinx’ Ibanez, I see a young Sean Connery.

Also on the same theme in 1995 issue 2835 ‘Entry Forbidden’ there looks to me to be Clint Eastwood, dressed as a German sentry, you know like in the film ‘Where Eagles Dare’ and in 1996 on the cover of issue 2998 ‘Rogue Soldier’ the American soldier looks like a young Larry (JR) Hagman.

Stop… Stop… Sorry about that, perhaps I’d better get out more and get a life.

And the cover for 2774 ‘Space Watch’ Ian Kennedy, would look at home as a Starblazer cover.

 

Regular cover artists this year were:

Benet, J. Bevan, Ron Brown, Burrows, Dalger, Dorey, Gascoine, Ibanez, Jose Maria Jorge, Ian Kennedy, Gordon Livingstone, Matysiak, Carlos Pino.

 

Reprint cover artists:

J. Bevan, Ian Kennedy, Jordi Penalva.

 

Favourite cover:

2813 ‘Tunnel Rats’ Matysiak.
