The tradition of recording the saga of Comex 'in verse' (with actions) began during Comex 5, in a teashop on the road between Ankara and Istanbul, and continued thereafter with a few verses added after each expedition. The teashop version - of the first thirty-five verses - is recorded here to set the scene, declaimed by Kevin Lacy who helped to perform the same act at Glastonbury after the Queen's Jubilee Comex 8. The final version of 66 verses can be found in Journey of a Lifetime.

The art work on this page came from the pen of Lone Marslund (Comex 5) and was used to illustrate ‘With a Song and not a Sword’ the story of Comex 5.
