Hi, have changed the phrase 'poor quality' to 'simplistic'. Saying its poor quality sounds like POV to me - and I know thats an opinion because I love those comics. 59.95.230.161 20:01, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Artist credits

"The writers and artists are uncredited as is usual for D.C Thomson comics."

This is wrong, it's normal for writers to be uncredited, but artists are allowed to sign their work if they wish. Most Beano and Dandy material is signed nowadays. (Ken Harrison, Tom Paterson, Nigel Parkinson, etc) Digifiend 12:14, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

I was wondering abut the phrase about "glorifying allied soldiers" while its true most of the "good guys" are allied soldiers there also good Germans, Japaneses etc just as they have stories abut evil Allied soldiers. The BBC described it quite well in their article about commando. Philbentley 19:52, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

Indeed, in many stories, the "good guy" and "bad guy" are on the same side, and the enemy are more or less incedental to the story, something to provide the danger which either forces the two further apart, or demands they work together. This is often especially true of flying stories. 82.153.230.138 (talk) 13:04, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

Commando did start allowing artists to sign the first or last page a few years ago, but have now added a "grenade" on the first page with the writer, artist, cover artist and original publication date (in the instance of reprints). This started quite recently, i could have a dig and find the 'first' issue it started in (though they are released 4 at a time so really there where four "first" issues it appeared in, but whichever of the four had the lowest number had better be counted as it might get confusing) 89.31.50.92 (talk) 22:14, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] stories

several books are in 2 parts (eg two editions for the one story and in fact I think I may have one example in three parts. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.237.225.198 (talk) 17:43, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
