Beano - a classic British weekly
« on: February 13, 2011, 05:28:35 PM »
This comic, produced by DC Thomson in Dundee, Scotland has been around forever, was a staple of my youth and is still going strong.  It's fair to say it's glory days are past but it still sells.  So, here's a chance to see a few issues from way back including strips by the wonderful D.D. Watkins.

Also, have a look at some Commando comics art from one of the many British war comics.  You'll have to scroll down and footer about a bit, I think but persevere, it might just be worth the effort:-

Ken Barr did some lovely covers for Commando but I haven't found examples here yet.  I'll keep looking.
