I was shocked that so many years after the war there were still so many stereotyps around about germans. Germans only were portraied more nicely, when the story was about their fight against the Soviets. Beeing born long after the war I had thought that our image had improved.

I bought mine that day. Perhaps your local Smiths has decided not to stock it, - or they've shelved it in some weird position? <br /><br />Celebrating a comic's anniversary on its cover date is ok but it gets a bit silly when people tie in other events that happened on that day - as they're not significant if the comic came out Lew Stringerhttp://www.lewstringer.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32738097.post-65995351711485652872009-09-28T11:59:08.539+01:002009-09-28T11:59:08.539+01:00The cover date is usually indicative of when the c...The cover date is usually indicative of when the comic goes <i>off</i> sale rather than on sale, I agree. <i>Warlord</i> went on sale on September 25th according to the advert Jeremy scanned.

The cover date wasn't the day it was published. ;-)<br /><br />I think it was the Denis Gifford books that first started this misconception of comics being launched on their cover date.
