Draw Your Weapons: 50 Years of Commando
Posted: September 1, 2011
Only a few weeks after the Imperial War Museum London hosted Comics & Conflicts, a two-day conference and programme of activities around war comics in association with Comica Festival, tonight the National Army Museum in London has opened a 50th anniversary exhibition dedicated to D.C. Thomson’s pocket-sized Commando picture libraries. Britain’s favourite war comics were launched in 1961 and are still going today at over 4,400 issues, mixing reprints with brand new stories. You can even subscribe to them online for £110 per year direct to your door. Original artworks from classic Commando covers will be on display at the Museum, admission free, and there’s a programme of talks and workshops and a specially commissioned poster. For full details see the dedicated page on their website.
