Old books like old soldiers don't die
I have been a diehard fan of Commando Comics since god knows when. So imagine my joy when I stumble into a book shop that had stocked commando comics and was selling the 'Best of Commando' series compilation for half price. Have ended up buying a whole set and gearing up for picking up few more collections. My only dilemma - each compilation weighs like a thick dictionary and my luggage is nearly touching the 28kilos mark. Don't want to end up paying penalty again at Heathrow.
