LESTER NOT LISTER
LESTER NOT LISTER
Whilst editing some of the Commando articles yesterday I noticed a discrepancy in one item. #5056 Dangerous Dawn was down as written by LISTER this I believe was a printing error. I consulted my friend, (who is all things Commando), and he agreed that it should be Lester and said you only have to check the credits for #5008 Operation Castaway also written by Lester to see that has the correct credit name. Between us we worked out that Lester wrote 13 Commando titles which are:
#237 Trouble Squad
#252 Battling Bradley (Reprint #923/#4391)
#253 The yellow Giants

#285 Desert Warrior (Reprint #999)

Been a long day!
Well it is officially Sunday. I have spent most of the day adding pages into the wiki from my collection. It has brought back some memories and I am really enjoying some of the stories.
I went to a comic mart a couple of weeks ago and saw some of the old comics being sold again. I didn't get any as I didn't have my list to hand. That will teach me! It is back in September so I will be more prepared.
Talking of buying comics. The Sheffield Sci-Fi and Comic Con is on at the Motorpoint Arena on the 30th and 31st August so probably get the list together for then.
Oh well back to adding more pages and try not to get distracted by reading them!
