COMMANDO 1978
|
All
the Commando titles for 1978 (1187 –
1282) |
The price of Commando increased to 10p in November.
It was nice
to see reprints of 1195 ‘Mountain of Death’ (Fernando), 1211 ‘I was a Nazi General’
(Aldoma Puig) & 1267 ‘Day of Danger’ (Gordon Livingstone) and at the end of
the year, the one and only cover by Weaver 1282 ‘Jet Strike’ with interior art
by John Ridgway.
Also
Gibbons did his one and only cover with 1218 ‘His Majesty’s Schooner’ a fine
piece of art.
Regular
cover artists this year were:
Sanfeliz, Eustaguio Segrelles, Weaver, Jacono,
Ian Kennedy, Phillips, Longaron, Villagran, Cortiella, Gibbons, Rollan, Ortega,
Reprint
cover artists:
Lopez Espi, Gordon Livingstone, Sanfeliz, Fernando,
Mackay, Artur Aldoma Puig, Jordi Penalva, Ken Barr,
Favourite
cover:
1205 ‘A
Tank called Tessie’ (Gonzalez) as this cover reminded of the style of Ken
Barr’s earlier covers.
I also
liked two Ian Kennedy covers, 1229 ‘Mystery from the Past’ & 1278 ‘The
Helmet’ for its simplicity.
