Hi, have changed the phrase 'poor quality' to 'simplistic'. Saying its poor quality sounds like POV to me - and I know thats an opinion because I love those comics. 59.95.230.161 20:01, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
"The writers and artists are uncredited as is usual for D.C Thomson comics."
This is wrong, it's normal for writers to be uncredited, but artists are allowed to sign their work if they wish. Most Beano and Dandy material is signed nowadays. (Ken Harrison, Tom Paterson, Nigel Parkinson, etc) Digifiend 12:14, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
I was wondering abut the phrase about "glorifying allied soldiers" while its true most of the "good guys" are allied soldiers there also good Germans, Japaneses etc just as they have stories abut evil Allied soldiers. The BBC described it quite well in their article about commando. Philbentley 19:52, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
Commando did start allowing artists to sign the first or last page a few years ago, but have now added a "grenade" on the first page with the writer, artist, cover artist and original publication date (in the instance of reprints). This started quite recently, i could have a dig and find the 'first' issue it started in (though they are released 4 at a time so really there where four "first" issues it appeared in, but whichever of the four had the lowest number had better be counted as it might get confusing) 89.31.50.92 ( talk) 22:14, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
several books are in 2 parts (eg two editions for the one story and in fact I think I may have one example in three parts. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.237.225.198 ( talk) 17:43, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
It might be in place to mention, that the title of Korkeajännitys includes a wordplay: jännitys means indeed tension, but also thrills and suspense; the related word jännite means (electric) voltage, and korkeajännite is high voltage. So, the sense conveyed by Korkeajännitys is something like high-voltage thrills. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.100.66.100 ( talk) 14:43, 9 March 2011 (UTC)
I knew for a fact that Commando was published in Danish, since I have a score of them somewhere in my parents' cellar. Have now checked the www for information. The series ran in Danish from 1961 to 1993, published in 732 issues by now closed publisher Interpresse. http://comicwiki.dk/wiki/Commando-serien. I wonder what other languages Commando was translated to - surely not just Finnish and Danish. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hr.thein ( talk • contribs) 07:25, 15 February 2012 (UTC)
[[User:Egeymi[], I have reverted you again. The infobox was incorrect. The article, under "Publication history", says "Since 1971 there have been eight issues published per month", which is more or less correct. In fact, a batch of four issues is published every two weeks. -- Nicknack009 ( talk) 09:26, 26 December 2016 (UTC)
