COMMANDO 1993

(POCKET HOMEPAGE)

All the Commando titles for 1993  (2627 – 2722)

 

The price of Commando increased to 50p in October.

 

The year saw the first installment of ‘The Log of the Lairds’ with 2665 ‘Desert Wolf’.

An old diary dating from the First World War lies in front of you. Turn the key in the lock, smooth down the rumpled pages…begin to read the first entry made by a man they called the Desert Wolf. Now you’re about to discover the deepest secrets of “The Log Of The Lairds” – a battle book which tells of great courage and daring through war after savage war…

There were a total of six Laird stories, all penned by Alan Hemus with covers by Ian Kennedy and interior artwork by Gordon Livingstone.

 

Also this year the heading ‘WAR STORIES IN PICTURES’ made its last appearance with issue 2690 ‘Password to Freedom’.

The new heading ‘FOR ACTION AND ADVENTURE’ appeared with the next issue 2691 ‘A Race against Time’.

Jose Maria Jorge did his first cover with 2663 ‘Hungry for Glory’; Jorge had done interior artwork before.

 

Regular cover artists this year were:

Benet, J. Bevan, Burrows, Gascoine, Ibanez, Jose Maria Jorge, Ian Kennedy, Gordon Livingstone, Matysiak, Carlos Pino.

 

Reprint cover artists:

J. Bevan, Ian Kennedy.

 

Favourite cover:

2629 ‘Sewer Rat’ & 2703 ‘The Black Gauntlet’ both by Burrows.

It’s just that when you scan a cover to put on a web page, looking at it on the editing page is a good way to see the detail of the art.

 

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