COMMANDO
1999
|
All the Commando titles for 1999 (3203 – 3298) |
The price of Commando increased to 70p in October.
The year saw the last
original title by Gordon Livingstone 3293 ‘Sweeney’s
Gordon’s first title
for Commando was 4 ‘Mercy for None’ released July 1961.
In a period spanning
39 years, Gordon did the interior art for over 360 original issues and over 60
covers.
I think the most
mysterious cover this year was 3282 ‘Deadly Contact’. The cover is in the style
of Tubaro, with faces on the rear cover in the style
of Denis McLoughlin, (Denis never did any Commando covers), but there is a
signature on the front cover in the bottom right hand corner ‘Chito’.
I only know one cover
attributed to Chito, and that was 2270 ‘High Risk Raid’. Any thoughts?
Regular cover artists
this year were:
Benet, J. Bevan, Ron Brown, Ibanez, Jose Maria
Jorge, Ian Kennedy, Keith Page, Carlos Pino, John Ridgway, Tubaro.
Reprint cover artists:
J. Bevan, Ron Brown, Ibanez, Ian Kennedy.
Favourite covers:
3226 ‘Heroes Never
Run’ Tubaro & 3265 ‘Bogus Bomber’ Jose Maria
Jorge.
