Commando,Viz and an Ebay purchase that I bought two weeks ago but was delivered to wrong address;Countdown Issue 1 (1971).

That’s a great variety!

And what a great result!

There's a rare copy of 'The Glasgow looking glass' up for sale today. A good chance to have a look at issue #2 of what is considered to be the first British comic. https://boysadventurecomics.blogspot.com/2023/05/glasgow-looking-glass-2-up-for-sale.html Very surprised that it only sold for £60.

Let’s hope it’s better than the earlier version.

I'm not really a fan of film fun, but I find the history of comics and old comic collecting ...

So far, the only issue mentioned has been the one that you’ve already identified!
There’s a very good chance that it the only one. One chap who writes stories for Commando, said he has one that was holocaust based, rejected.

Done. I’ll report back with any answers

Now that’s a question Colin Noble would have easily answered.
There’s a group on Facebook called Commando and other British Weekly Comics. That would be a great place to hopefully get an answer.
If you’re not on Facebook, just say, and I’ll happily ask the question for you.

Welcome! Commando doesn’t have any ‘key’ issues, so the only differential is the earlier, the better. I sell thousands of them every year and as a general rule of thumb, they’re 50p each over 1000, pre decimal are £3-4 rising as the numbers get lower and the ones left between #530 and 1000, £1-£3 ea...
