About this Event
Join Kate for this session to learn all about the inner workings of Britain’s longest-serving war comic. From idea conception to newsagent shelves, Kate explains the nitty-gritty of what makes a great war comic: from real-life inspiration and human interaction, to detailed artwork and explosive eye-catching covers, and each step of the process in between. She has the pleasure of working with people from around the world who each play a part in making Commando what has been the ‘Home of Heroes’ for over sixty years.
Got a dit that would make a great storyline for a Commando Comic?
Then join us for Kate’s talk to find out how to submit your idea…
