D-Day was the largest amphibious invasion in history and one of the world's most famous military actions. It has become the stuff of legend through films such as "Saving Private Ryan" and TV series such as "Band of Brothers". To commemorate its 65th anniversary, Carlton is proud to present Commando's hardest-hitting anthology of war comic stories ever, covering all the heroic action of 'The Longest Day', 6 June 1944. From "Ambush at Dawn", "Normandy Drop" and "Blood of Heroes" to "Operation Bulldog" and "The Footsloggers", "Commando: D-Day Fight or Die!" features a dozen action-packed stories of the Tommies who stormed Hitler's formidable Atlantic Wall from air, land and sea-and won.

Recommended to boys aged 8+ to 80+

24 October 2013

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I have a number of these comic book collections, and this one easily matches up to any of the others. I started reading these as a boy 50 years ago, and reading them again now brings back memories of a very happy childhood. I liked this book particularly because, for many years, I have been interested in the events of D-Day. I know all these stories are fiction, but being based on true events lends them an aura of reality. I know the storylines are often repeated, and the ending usually fairly predictable, but so what? They're still an exciting read for small boys of any age.

Beautiful Nostalgia

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Superb nostalgia and the stories are still entertaining today. The artwork is superb and the book opens perfectly for a good read considering the massive 783 pages. My only slight gripe is that the description states hardback but it is rally a reinforced softback. If I could have given 4.5 stars, I would have done for this slight disappointment, but let's not be churlish and give 4 I thought. It's a worthy 5 stars! and

Inaccurate description of condition.

Granted this was a previously owned book but it was described as excellent condition.
Smelt of cigarette smoke and had quite a few bent corners.

Rip roaring fun from a bygone era

9 February 2014

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Although some of the language and phrases used to evoke the 1940s are hackneyed it still is a great read. Me and my boy (nine) both enjoyed this undemanding series of stories. Great fun.

Superb images, not so superb stories

That's not totally fair - some of the dialogue is priceless. But the images are first class and really pull you into those Boys Own Adventures, especially if you're of the...Rainbow Rising (The Heavy Metal series).Read more
