UPDATED Peter Ford's Tv Action's Dad's Army thanks to Phil Rushton



Here's an example of Kids' Army from Tops no.2:



I know it's only tangentially related to David Croft but the Dad's Army connection is specifically mentioned in the header (in fact it's the only thing that really justifies the strip's inclusion in a comic based around TV shows and personalities). Also it's exceptionally well drawn imho; anybody recognize the artist?

...And finally, in spite of this supposedly being a non-comics discussion, here's an example of Bill Titcombe's version of Dad's Army from TV Comic, followed by a page of Hi De Hi from TV Tops:

In keeping with the tribute to David Croft here is Dad's Army from TV Action comic.

Drawn by Peter Ford.

Its lovely seeing new adventures of this comedy series in the comics...this is what is good with the comic medium.

Dad's Army was also in Tv Comic.

As for spin-off series you might want to check out 'Kids' Army' from DC Thomson's Tops.
