Warlord No. 299 cover dated 14 June 1980 for 10p.

'The Fall of France' cover depicting German soldiers in Paris in 1940. Rare for Warlord to have a photo cover. This is one of only two covers I can think of (the other being No. 411 in 1982 which had a photo as a background).

'Big Willi' also debuted this issue. A great strip, regardless of the ooh err missus type title, that initially featured the art of Alberto Salinas. I always enjoyed Salinas' artwork in titles like Warlord and The Crunch and he continued to work for British comics up until 1982.

Battle Action Force No. 580, dated 14 June 1986. Charley's War cover by Joe Colquhoun (1926-1987). At this stage Charley was continuing his fight in World War Two. While the original WW1 series has been reprinted several times I don't think the WW2 adventures have been.

Inside was the recurring Action Force Battle File feature. This week Torpedo takes on Cobra Pirates! Art by Jim Watson.
