Commanding View
Large (and I do mean LARGE), HB book chronicling the history of Commando (pocket-size war comic from the 60s onwards). For those of us who read it as boys, it's a trip down memory lane; for those who didn't, it's a chance to appreciate a truly great British strip. The title is viewed from different aspects with chapters on the artists and writers; six of the best stories are reprinted in full, with original covers (where I was pleased to find that my favourite artist in the genre, Jose Jorge, is represented) and there is a numbered checklist for collectors. I saw some of the original art at the N.A.M. exhibition in summer 2012 and it's good to have it in a permanent format.

Re-living your youth
I don't believe that there is any male in the UK who didn't read " Commando " in their youth. The comemorative book celebrating 50 years of the publication is a wonderful record of the genre, which explains all aspects of the creation of "Commando" from the story editors, artists and covers. A brilliant record of days gone by!
