Commando
Commando :
Sat there, in my bedroom, on a night, reading all the tales of heroism in Commando, back in the mid-70's! Happy memories... or so you think.
In my case, I got hold of a bundle of issues from the 70's, not so long back and I could still remember two of the stories... 30 years later!
If you remember reading Commando comics, try and get hold of some more, hopefully you will remember 'the good old days'...

The original fiendishly difficult puzzle,
now with solution guide
The original fiendishly difficult puzzle, invented by Erno Rubik in Hungary and one of the biggest toy crazes ever. In 1982 Hawkin's Bazaar was the first to bring a few cases of the Rubik's Cube to England. Unfortunately 25 years ago we were very small and it wasn't long before a much larger company had the exclusive rights to distribute in the UK. We are very pleased to be offering it again! And now includes a new seven step solution guide.

Commando pocket comic books are still released every month !, I think one new title is released every month, and also a reprint of an old classic commando is released every month. They are one of the few "retro" comics that are still readily available in the shops. "Starblazer" was the sci-fi version of commando comic books, they ran from the early 70's till about the late 80's early 90's.

Commando comics, where every schoolboy learnt German. "AAIIIIEEEE" "GOTT IN HIMMEL" "ENGLANDER SCHWEINHUND" and "ACHTUNG, ACHTUNG, SPITFIRE" were my limit, still are.

Funnily enough I went out with a German girl and recited all my commando learned phrases, she was not impressed !! Gott in himmel and schnell were favourites along with donner and blitzen. Ah well I still managed to seal the deal anyway. The only other German I learned was kaninchen which is rabbit.
