British Comics: Commando – The War Watch

Posted by Tom Mason Categories: Editorials, Reviews,

CommandoLike many others (and you know who you are), one of my favorite comic book shops is the Dollar Store, known by many different names and operated by several different and separate companies. But whether it's Dollar Tree, 99¢ Only Stores, Family Dollar or whatever, you can still occasionally find someone who's dumped a huge pile of bagged comics from the fringes of the industry.

You might think that no one would want them, but, aha, you'd be wrong. I want them.

I was there just the other day when I found a set of bagged comics, 3-in-a-bag, for $1. Two of the comics were from Amalgam (JLX #1 and Super Soldier #1), the mash-up venture between Marvel and DC back in mid-1990s.

The third was a 2008 reprint of a 2006 issue of Commando (#3951, I had to look it up on the Google), one of the venerable British comics series from DC Thomson.

But the reprint is published by Geddes & Grosset, a UK-based company that prints in India and doesn't have a website.
