You lot seem to remember far more than me! I just remember Johnny and his Hurricane – in fact, my friend Simon introduced me to them and aeroplanes generally at school when I was 10 – he has a lot to answer for 😀

All well and good but noone has answered the question – did Yakob really die?

2 stroyboards I also remember – wasn’t there a Bruce Lee (“The fists of Jimmy Chang” rings a bell) type dude plus another strip featuring a couple of Body & Doyle types. Another strip was about some truckers (“PigPen”?). Of course, Charley’s war was superb.

To be fair I was also a Warlord fan too – “All the way UJJ”, Lord Peter Flint, the Warlord club etc. Looked forward to my nan buying me the Summer Special each year whist on hols.

Ahh, those were the days!

I think Yakob died… Johnny was haunted by his ghost as I recall…

The Bruce Lee bloke was Jimmy Chang, the Bodie and Doyle types were “the Hunters” (who disguised themselves as actors in a Professionals type TV programme!) and the trucker was Trucker Turpin…

Misspent youth…

What ever happened to Battler Britton

That link has done my productivity no end of harm this morning…..

Nostalgia attack!

I used to buy them all you know..

Commando comics were usually my staple diet when I was but a nipper!! 😉

Holy mother of Kazan!

Aieeeee! By the gods!

Holy mother of Kazan!

I loved him as a kid. I went ‘Battle’ mad a couple of years back and got all the annuals bar one off Ebay. Good move….!

Remember Joe Two Beans?

jeez, i thought about this comic strip when i posted that pic of the russian 2 seat hurricane a couple of days ago. thought it was just the kind of conversion they would have in the storyline (remember the all red mossie or the B25 with more .50 cals than a flight of mustangs?)
thanks for that link, off to have a good looksee right now,
Greg

My God I had forgotten about him and Battle comics…thanx for the memories ! 🙂
