COMMANDO 1984

(POCKET HOMEPAGE)

All the Commando titles for 1984  (1763 – 1858)

 

The price of Commando increased to 22p in October.

 

It was nice to see a reprint of ‘The Fighting Major’ 1795, this was the only cover done by Willow and one of my favourites, another cover this year, the only one done by artist Robertson, was 1816 ‘Panzer-trap’, I like this cover, as in some sense it looks like a technical drawing with so much detail.

There were some great covers this year, and one of my favourite cover artists Alan Philpott did twelve.

 

Regular cover artists this year were:

J. Bevan, Ron Brown, Jacono, Ian Kennedy, Longaron, Alan Philpott, Robertson.

 

Reprint cover artists:

Ian Kennedy, Gordon Livingstone, Jordi Penalva, Willow.

 

Favourite cover:

Other than the ones mentioned above, I liked 1776 ‘Secret Enemy’ (Longaron).

 

The first two issues each month are reprints the original/new issue numbers are in brackets.
