DC Thomson’s official Commando website have just completed their first web version of a Commando comic. Wall of Death was originally published in July 1966 in Commando issue 221, written by Redbridge and illustrated by Cortez. The website has formatted the entire story into eleven chapters beginning here and each one links to the next.
Now that the story has been completed, the site has detailed the work that went into getting the 63 digest size pages into a web format. Writer Dan McGachey had to adapt the story into eleven segments with a recap at the beginning of each. The original art was scanned and adapted to the web comic format by artist Bryn Houghton who had to cover up original text boxes and speech balloons to create new ones in different positions as well as extending the artwork to take account of the square format used on the site. More details of their work can be found here.

The web comic of Wall Of Death begins here, while the web comic of They Flew By Night begins here. The main page of the Commando website is here.
• Commando: All Guns Blazing, with an introduction by former Commando editor George Low, is available from Amazon.co.uk and amazon.com
