| About a tank and its crew fighting in Europe. I remember that at one time the Stuart was knocked out and they requsitioned another tank - a Sherman? - and continued on with the stories. I loved it!

| I remember a strip that had a group of squaddies in a LCT with a jeep, a Sherman and what must have been an endless supply of ammo. Like in the film The Final Countdown they time warped and ended up each week in a famous battle. As a kid it was brilliant seeing them whoop the arses of legions of Romans or giving Gengis Khan a drubbing. Funny tho different nationalities and languages but they all still yelled "AIEEEEEEE!" when the got shot or blown up, must be a universal yell or Esperanto |

| I grew up reading the "Commando" comics. I used to scoure second hand bookshops looking for the older issues as well as collecting the new releases. I still have several hundred of them packed away.

| I'd forgotten about those..! I usd to buy second hand Commando, Battler Britton, War Picture Library and other similar books. ...And how could I forget to mention the Asterix books??!! Only managed to get 3 when I was about 12, but later bought the whole lot in Austria when I started learning German. Tin Tin was also fairly popular in NZ. |

| I preferred just listening to it And you're right about the artwork in Tin Tin - but there was a French or Belgian series which were even more beautifully drawn, one of which ('Le rendezvous de Seven Oaks' ) I got from my french cousins. Anyone know it? Last edited by A4K; 05-28-2008 at 09:27 AM. |

| ...Can't beat Calvin and Hobbes...! (In Sweden they're called 'kalle och Hobbe', in Austria 'Kelvin und Hobbes' (if I remember rightly), and here in Hungary 'Kázmer és Huba' ) |

| Very cool Trackie! I have a few of those as well. Talking about Commando comics, when I was a kid I did one of their surveys from the back cover, a few weeks later I recieved 4 original (I think) paintings of some of their covers!! I still have them framed somewhere, very cool stuff.
