A few years ago I started a new nostalgia trip seeking out reprints of
mainstream British comics from the 1960s to the 1980s. I’ve always been
interested in comics but I switched to American comics and 2000AD from the late
1970s on.
The Commando collections from 2008 on fed my renewed addiction. However,
the main reason I started this trip was Alan and Leah Moore’s Albion; now only
available second hand.
It’s a classic reworking of many of the British comics heroes from my
youth. I was shocked to see what they did with Captain Hurricane but I was
really pleased to see
Grimly Feendish make
a reappearance.
Imagine my delight when Nigel Parkinson posted a a scan of a
Grimly Feendish story by Leo Baxendale
from the back cover Smash! (Issue 3, 1966). Pure joy and well worth a
visit.

Comics are a great wargame inspiration to me. Every issue is a scenario for a small unit action. G.I. Combat the Haunted Tank is one of my favorites.
Would you like to exchange links?

Nigel Parkinson has posted another scan of Grimly Fiendish from Smash #2 by Leo Baxendale. Great stuff. Recommended.
They just keep on coming. This time from Wham! #17, 1964 and an original double page centre spread to boot.
