Introduction by Calum Laird, Commando Editor...
This story from Commando's Gold Collection is a 24-carat
classic. From Ken Barr's full throttle cover and the back cover's
opening line - "In Blood and Sand..." -
to the final frame, it's action all the way! All that, with main
characters who are as hostile to each other as they are to the
enemy.
Artist Gordon Livingstone, who brought this Spence strip to
life, was in his first year as a Commando artist, but there is his
trademark fine line and eye for detail. Never was the experience of
National Service in British uniform so well used.
It may be 50 years old, but this Golden Oldie is fresh as a
daisy.
