 History of the British comic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The British comic The Dandy is the world's longest running comic, The Beano, another British comic, is the second longest running comic and the third longest running comic, Comic Cuts, is also British.
Until this point, the British comic was also usually printed on newsprint, with fl or a dark red used as the dark colour and the four colour process used on the cover.
Whilst some comics contain only strips, other publications have had a slightly different focus, providing readers with articles about, and photographs of, pop stars and television/film actors, plus more general articles about teenage life, whilst throwing in a few comic strips for good measure.

Commando For Action and Adventure (formerly known as Commando War Stories in Pictures), colloquially known as Commando Comics, are a series of British comic books that primarily draw their themes and backdrops from the various incidents of the World Wars I and II.
The comic, still in print today, is noted for its distinctive 7 x 5 1/2 inch, 68 page format that became a standard for these kinds of stories.
As well as the comics, annuals were also produced in the years 1989 and 1990, each containing seven new stories.

 We Stand on Guard for Thee: The Golden Age   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
While the story and art in those first Canadian comics were comparable to the American books, the lack of colour in many early Canadian comics vividly set the books apart from their American counterparts, earning them "the whites" as a collective nickname.
Canadian comic heroes, like their American counterparts, were inextricably tied to the Second World War, and the war's end killed off far more heroes than any evil villain dared to dream.
While American comic publishers scrambled to find new genres to replace their dying superhero lines, Canadian publishers were also faced with the end of wartime restrictions that kept their American competitors out of the Canadian market.

 Alexander Rose on Superman on National Review Online
A junior realist, I tended to read, instead, the British-produced, four-times-a-month Commando comics, which were generally set during the Second World War.
What the American and British comics had in common was their utter predictability and dialogue so wooden it was an insult to furniture.
Unlike the Commando hacks, writers, pencillers, and inkers at DC and Marvel, the two venerable American houses, have in recent years tired of the traditional storylines.

 Comic creator: Gfrenzy
Gfrenzy spent much of his youth reading 'Commando' war comics in the outhouse, later graduating onto '2000 AD' as a teenager.
His first attempts at comic drawing were therefore in the war, sci-fi or best of all, sci-fi war genres.
Careful penmanship and pencil drafts were pushed aside as adolescent drinking binges increased, and his comics took on a more autobiographical tone.
