COMMANDO 1973

(POCKET HOMEPAGE)

All the Commando titles for 1973  (707 – 802)

 

No price increase.

 

J. Bevan did his first cover this year with 734 ‘Born to be Brave’ & the only two covers by Picco 769 ‘The Trail of the Golden Samurai’ & 800 ‘Betrayed!’.

 

Regular cover artists this year were:

Alvaro, J. Bevan, Jacono, Ian Kennedy, Jordi Penalva, Picco, Sanfeliz.

 

Reprint cover artists:

Alvaro, Ken Barr, Lopez Espi, Artur Aldoma Puig, James, Scholler.

 

Favourite cover:

I like 708 ‘Old Rusty’ Ian Kennedy & 776 ‘Curse of the Ruby’ Jordi Penalva.

But my favourite is 797 ‘The Man who Died Twice’ also by Jordi Penalva.
