sci fi commando

Does anyone remember a comic in the eighties which was the same format and size of commando but it was all sci fi stories? I remember when I was a kid I would always get it or commando but cant remember what it was. It was awesome so it was.

Starblazer? I think it was by DC Thomson too. I can remember having a few but they weren't as good as 2k, and they disappeared. There were fitba ones tae.

STARBLAZER! It's all flooding back, I remember I was gutted because there was a story I never got the next part of. All I can remember now is that it had a bounty hunter who ducked under a laser at one point. Really strange the images that stick in the mind.

I know,I remember one aboot a Marshal, with a really pants gun. The front cover was either dark purple or blue, with the guy in a space suit thing on some sort of hoverbike thingy. I wonder if there's anything aboot them on the net....

Wow! look at the list of creators- it's like a who's who of 2k! I never knew any of this. Or the amount of them.

Jeez, that is a pretty impressive roster. Cheers for all the info, was an enormous nostalgic wave to read that. Used to go visit my gran in Peebles(thriving hotbed of action that was)and on the way home we'd always stop at the same garage and I'd be allowed a copy of Commando or Starblazer! Never looked on that wikipedia wotsit, is it normally the best place to look for stuff?

I'm probably about the last person to ask about web related stuff, but the wikithingy seems crop up in a lot of art/comic stuff. So i'm guessin- yeah.
