I thought this was the weakest of the 4 titles I purchased from Commando. The stories are much more recent that the 1960s and 70's and the art seems to have suffered. there were a few neat ideas though, VLR about snipers for example. Bright blade of courage about the navy as well as fight or die! were the best stories. I thought this was the weakest of the 4 titles I purchased from Commando.

A great collection of war stories from the Commando Comics archive. 12 of the toughest Commando books ever, excellent artwork and plenty of 'mein gott', 'aaargh' 'achtung' 'banzai!' and 'gott im hammer's!' to keep the most avid boy's own adventure readers happy. Takes me back to my youth in the 70s reading these - they have been going since the early 60s and still publish 4 stories every fortnight. Brilliant.

Achtung! Himmel A welcome trip down memory lane and no mistake. As a keen collector, and as somebody who's childhood was defined by collecting commando comics and watching war films, publications like this bring a tear to my eye. There was never any nuance, never any of this modern PC guff, with commando comics. It was old school, black and white morality, and these comics were all the better for it. Friendly relations with Germany? This comic set them back years! If it weren't for the fact that Achtung! Himmel A welcome trip down memory lane and no mistake.

Friendly relations with Germany? This comic set them back years! If it weren't for the fact that Commando was such a British institution, there is no way that these comics would ever get off the ground in this day and age. This collections presents a welcome blend of classics (VLR is one of my favourites of all time) and a welcome trip down memory lane.

it's thick, it's heavy, it's black and white (the cover is in colour though), it's expensive :( it's thick, it's heavy, it's black and white (the cover is in colour though), it's expensive :(
