Pocket Battle Strips - Rated
I discovered a friend had never heard of, let alone read a Commando book as a child. I was amazed and dismayed. What, I wondered, had the poor chap done to be so deprived? I shudder think what dialogue he made up for his Action Men without access to this rich source material.

Anyway, a brilliant idea to publish this collection - let's have more.

Still good after all these years - Rated
I have to wonder how many of these they sell to people who aren't men over 40 but it's a fantastic trip back to the comics which were essential reading and playground swap material in the late 1960's and early 1970's.

I was caned for reading this at the back of Double Latin - and still think that I make the right choice while the teacher was a Squarehead spy.

Superb! - Rated
If, like me, you are in any way interested in reliving your chidhood, then this book will bring back a lot of memories! I was brought up on these comics and now have a considerable collection. This book has an intro from the current editor and then some superb stories, all of which capture the stiff upper lip attitude of the comics. There is a small input on the covers but no more unfortunately.
Most of the stories number pre 600. The art work is superb and if you arelucky enough to pick up copies of Achtung Commando, then your reference material is complete!
If you don't already own the comics conatained in ther book, then this is an essential purchase.
