h33t - Commando (15 issues) [citaltras][h33t]

C O M M A N D O
DC Thomson (UK)

Reseed of my Commando torrent posted last year on h33t,
plus three extra issues.

These are all the Commando issues I could find.
Only a few books of this classic UK series have been scanned.

Thanks to vfttpete69 for kindly providing the cbr files
for the two COMMANDO issues shown in the covers below.
The number of scanned issues for this and other UK series is still ridiculous,
when compared with the existing scans of USA comic books
or other British series like 2000AD.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Commando For Action and Adventure, formerly known as Commando War Stories in Pictures, and colloquially known as Commando Comics, are a series of British comic books that primarily draw their themes and backdrops from the various incidents of the World Wars I and II. The comic, still in print today, is noted for its distinctive 7 x 5 1/2 inch, 68 page format that became a standard for these kinds of stories. It has remained more popular than many other British war comics, and some would say British comics in general, despite its simplistic stories and simply sketched black and white artwork, with only the covers in color.

The stories contain certain characteristic motifs; to mention a few - courage, cowardice, patriotism, dying for the sake of one's country, noble actions in the face of danger, enmity turning into friendship when the going gets tough, and so on. Apart from portraying these universal qualities, Commando Comics also show soldiers in somewhat dated national stereotypes, glorifying Allied soldiers, and showing others mostly as cruel, stupid or ignorant barbarians. There is no continuity between books and each book is a complete story with start and finish.
