Time travelling Tank
Time travelling Tank
Hi, first post from a new Member, I wonder if any of you can help me with a weekly story from a British comic of the 1960s that featured a Tank ,possibly a Sherman , that travelled back through time, I vividly remember it appearing in Roman times etc, People have suggested, the "Haunted Tank" but that was in an american comic, the comics I read at the time were, Victor, Hornet, Hotspur, and occasionally Tiger, Lion and Valiant, any help would be gratefully appreciated., excellent site by the way.

Re: Time travelling Tank
Hi
That sounds like Phantom Patrol from Swift, later reprinted as Ghost Patrol in Smash, with early 2000AD annuals featuring hacked-about chunks of it.
Early 2000AD annuals don't seem to cost much, so buying the 1979, 1980 or 1981 annual should give you a taste of the strip.
Steve Holland brought out a lovely collection of the whole strip in 2009, but this was a very limited release.
A search of Comics UK for Phantom Patrol will bring up various mentions of it.
It was an excellent strip, so no wonder it's stuck with you for nearly 50 years.
