Fiends of the Eastern Front

[aktionman]

The garage at home yielded a dusty (*sneeze*) 1980 comic book called "AD2000" with an episode of a story titled "Fiends of the Eastern Front".

Recently (2006) the whole series of episodes was released as a graphic novel (I love Carlos Ezquerra's drawings!):

(I am not sure if the book is the same: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Fiends-Eastern-Front-Operation-Vampyr/dp/1844162745)

There is even a wikipedia entry for this tale:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiends_of_the_Eastern_Front

"A diary found with an unearthed skeleton casts new light on a lost piece of history from World War II. It belongs to a young German soldier who was stationed on the Eastern Front who fought alongside a group of Romanian soldiers who always fight at night. Their true nature is soon revealed and when they change sides all Hell breaks loose."

Perhaps something for the Carpathian Crosses team to look into ...

Is there anything more cool than Nazi Vampires? I don't think so.

Should keep my eyes open for this...

They're not Nazi Vampires, but Romanian.

1980 comic book called "2000AD"

Fixed

2000AD was ace when I was a kid. If you like weird WW2 British comics check out the various pulp ones like Commando. Crap plots, terrible dialogues and characters but has that weird Damn Busters war film feel to them

Take that Fritz!

Himmel! Achtung! AIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

Rogue Trooper, Slaine, Judge Dredd, Sinister Dexter, Strontium Dogg/Johnny Alpha on the other hand were all awesome. Until my grandad cancelled my subscriptiion when I was 10 for no apparent reason.

Add Nemesis the Warlock to that list and i agree

2000Ad was truly a class act. I loved Marvel and Batman etc. but 2000AD with ABC warriors, Nemisis, Slane and of course the infinate scope of Mega city 1 in Judge Dread was the biz when i was a lad. I felt the art, stories and dark humour was far better.
'Black Hole' 'Blockmania', and 'Apocalyse war'were great books - for me only the watchman and a couple of the Batman graphic novels were up with them at the time.

WW2 British comics

The one I got every xmas was the Battle annual, also publised by Fleetway. I thought it was great at the time- now I think about it I may try to pick one up again for old time's sake.
