Commando For Action and Adventure, formerly known as
Commando War Stories in Pictures, and colloquially known as
Commando Comics, is a British
comic book magazine that primarily draw their themes and backdrops from the various incidents of the World Wars
I and
II. It was first published in July 1961 and is still in print today. It's noted for its distinctive 7 × 5½ inch, 68 page format that became a standard for these kinds of stories. "Commando" 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 colour.
