If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!

Wow, had a few of those in my younger days. Still remember them with affection.  :)
When you realise we're all mad, life makes a lot more sense.

Wow, there's a blast from the past. ;)
Buy plenty of Matron's sculpts now!

If he keeps using the chainsaw, the value of his work will soon go up.

We were talking about Commando comics at my work a while ago - two of us were sure there was another series of small-format war comics at the same time, but could not remember the name - and, more surprisingly, couldn't Google it...

Anyone know what we were havering about?  :(

Oh, good! Now we can all "Go Commando!" again. Hurrah!  :-bd  Wait. On second thoughts .....  :-&  
 
P.S. Know the ones you mean, Wulf - but like you, can't remember who published them! ~X(

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Battle was it, then? Rings a (very) distant bell. I remember you used to get 'summer specials' with 4 stories in them. Helped get me through some rainy summers!  8->

Battle sounds right, it's what we thought in my office, but it just doesn't ring any bells... Thanks for agreeing though  :D

The exterminator looks a lot like a Romulan.
