Eric Hebden's working title for the story was Force 136, while issue 61 of Commando was titled Massacre by Moonlight.<br /><br />And (going for the Comic Anorak Silver Star!), issue 28 was titled Massacre in the Sun.<br /><br />Oh yes and (now going for the Comic Anorak Get A Life For Christ's Sake Gold Star with Laurel Wreath) issue 25 Take No Prisoners had the working title of Massacre by Moonlight.

Re-reading the post I assume 'Massacre' was simply an alternative title used for an earlier reprint of 'Red Runs the River'! :-)<br /><br />As you were men!Phil Rushtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11115717268103349676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3816075755902555378.post-69995964518858333432011-05-02T12:19:46.009+01:002011-05-02T12:19:46.009+01:00I too hope they continue with the early reprints P...I too hope they continue with the early reprints Peter. The latest two seem particularly interesting: 'Red Runs the River' must feature some of Auraleon's earliest work and - assuming 'Blasco' is Jesus Blasco - we can look forward to two Warren artists in the same month (though in this country Jesus is more likely to be familiar from his work on Valiant's long-running Steel Claw strip). To be honest I didn't know that the latter had ever even appeared in a DC Thomson comic. Nor was I aware of Auraleon's sad end (which puts me in mind of a memorable 1980s 'Heavy Metal' strip in which a Spanish artist committed suicide after years of drawing soulless English-language Romance strips for the British market!).<br /><br />Incidentally, it might just be my browser playing up but most of the section of your post dealing with 'Massacre After Moon-Rise' seems to have got lost somewhere along the line...Phil Rushtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11115717268103349676noreply@blogger.com
