There's a lot of great early work around the Fleetway/IPC titles. A lot of very good artists also worked on a lot of these titles too.

The Dracula story (written in the Cold War period) has the vampire escape across a border checkpoint into the west. My memory tells me that it's an intelligence officer who investigates the new defector as he tries to establish his domain in England. It's the start I remember reading. With there being a guaranteed shock/cliffhanger in UK weekly strips every few pages, the pace lent itself well to the story. The art was excellent as it was for a lot of these strips.

A quick Wiki search shows me that Furman wrote Death's Head and Dragon Claws. Claws was your standard 2000AD type story of a brutal future sport. Set in a grim future across destroyed cityscapes, teams would kill each other off to get a ball over a line. Or something. It never bothered to define itself. I later read the strips, such as Mean Arena, it was "inspired" by. So it had a violent, action packed opening, based on other strips. But it fell away really, really quickly when it tried to follow it's own plot.

I was just reading Marshall Law meets the Legion the other day.

Yeah! Give all cats you meet extra back rubs or else!

Tee hee... Look at the human trying to be all menacing. Amateur.

The Martin in the title is Ray Palmer's cat Martin. When he went a bit nuts, Palmer would just shrink down his foes and let Martin have his fun.

The shadow on the wall, isn't actually Martin's. It's a crossover issue featuring Bat Cat in a desperate move to tie yet another book into Gotham.

^ Makes sense to me. Will Ray's cat be in the DC television shows?

He sure will! Just after he's finished with DC Editorial in Honey I Shrunk The Readership!

Ahh.. back in my modelling years...oh the cat! Yes of course! We're talking about the cats. What else..>embarrassed shuffle<

I just read that Catweazle had a toad called Touchwood. >schoolboy chortle<

Typical. I used to get a few comics bought for me if I had the sniffoos as a child (as opposed to when I was older when I was indulged with lots of comics )

But did I get this one? I did not. Having said that, Commandos are still on sale in my local newsagents. I bought a few for my dad recently when he had the sniffoos.

Looking at the cover, they should send more planes if they're to stand a chance against a cat.

Oliver Stanley looked proudly across the oak table at the staff of the London Planning Office. Operation Bodyguard would work. Their deceptions would leave the way open for allied forces to attack Normandy.

Of course, to ensure absolute secrecy, the Normandy landings were also a bluff. The air around them still seemed to buzz with the message they had just received from Bletchley Park: "The Mouse Has Landed."

With the stuffed mouse now in Berlin, nothing would stop the ultimate secret weapon, Tiddles the Cat, from eliminating the Nazi threat.

Jeez Louise!

Tasmia's gotten into the body paint again!

Uncool, girl. Major uncool!!

When will you accept yourself?

>gasp!< That’s a pic of li’l ‘ol Ibis headed me on the left!

Ibis feathers fly up above
Cat’s claws only lead to a fall
I’m a Commando of love
But it hurts to be a notch
In the mural on the bedroom wall

I’m a soldier of love
And that’s a Soldier’s Luck
To find out that, in the end
I was just a quick…roll in the sand.

Thoth better start staying awake nights. Just a precaution...

Who made it better:

Original (1942) or remake (1982) starring Nastassja Kinski and Malcolm McDowell?

Original.

I am safe from those who slink and court and kill by night. For they need me to fill their food dishes by day.

Darrel Dane: So, you just want me to stand here?
Ray Palmer: Yup. Right there.
Darrel Dane: Gosh! This miniature heroes photoshoot was a great idea! I can't wait to meet Salu!
Ray Palmer: Now! Martin! Get him Now!
Darrel Dane: Gaaaaaah!
Martin: >Chomp< play with food...play with food >chomp<
