Ah Warlord…with all it's great cover mounted gifts. The concealed plastic dagger you could hang around your neck(wait a minute – is this a necklace?), the handy spy's translator wheel which let you ask for papers or warn of an approaching spitfire in any Axis language. And then Battle – with all those stories by people who would later draw for 2000AD. Major Easy was basically Strontium Dog without radiation and aliens…. …they were simpler times…. |

It's also interesting to see only Commando listed representing a whole range of Digest Size war comics. I expect that's because it's the only one still going. But there were loads of them such as: War Picture Library
Battler Briton (who wasn't a Command series character – I think he was in Air Ace Picture Library) The bigger names ran for thousands of issues, but there were a lot more that had shorter lives. |

I still have a box stuffed full of Commando, Battle Picture and War Picture comics. |

The only ones I ever paid any attention to were Sgt. Rock and, especially, the Haunted Tank. |

Best of both worlds for me. Four and a half years in the UK as a USAF brat, so I had Sgt. Rock, the Haunted Tank, etc., as well as War Picture Library and Commando. Also, the Unknown Soldier (in the right hands) would make a phenomenal streaming series. |

What was the name of the comic about the M3 tank crew. I have fond memories of that one. Was it General Stuart???? |
 John the OFM | 14 Sep 2021 9:14 p.m. PST |
Sergeant Rock, and the Combat Happy Joes of Easy Company. |

The Haunted Tank – and the M3 was indeed the General Stuart What I didn't get – even as a callow youth – was how that 37mm gun could take out a Tiger |

I'm told by people who know more than I that a 37mm hit in the right place on the Tiger's rear could disable it. |

The Haunted Tank started as an M3 Stuart. Then they had their own wacky-mobile assembled from the junkyard, before finally ending up in a Sherman. |
