Dad's army comic

An oddity here...a comic strip of Dad's army. Written by RAG Clarke and illustrated by Bill Titcombe. I'm unclear if this is wholly new material or just reprints from TV comic. Can anyone help me?


The book was published in landscape format (as above)



This is what down the tubes have to say about the "Dad's Army" strip...began in TV comic issue 1058 (cover dated 25th March 1972) its first run in the comic continuing until Issue 1100 (cover dated 13th January 1973) then moving to TV Action. When that title merged with TV Comic with Issue 1133 (cover dated 1st September 1973) "Dad's Army" returned until issue 1275 (cover dated 22nd May 1976).

The only similar volume I can think of is Daily Star newspaper strip volume of Last of the summer wine strips that they ran.
