Morgyn the Mighty from The Victor V1 (1961) - Compiled and edited by H. C.


 Morgyn the Mighty is a British action-adventure comic strip about a super-strong 
shipwreck survivor. The strip debuted in 1928, created by Dudley D. Watkins, 
and continued to be published until about 1968.

Publication history
The strip first appeared as the text story "Morgyn the Mighty" in 1928 in The Rover.
The first picture strip version now entitled Morgyn the Mighty appeared in the first issue 
of The Beano in 1938, this strip ended in the same year it began. In 1951 the strip was
 put in the comic The Rover, but was transferred to Victor Book for Boys in 1963. 
The strip was drawn by Dudley D. Watkins for D. C. Thomson. Watkins later 
drew a similar story, Strang the Terrible, for the Beano during the 1940s. 
Morgyn would appear in further adventures throughout the Victor's publication run.

A similar character named Strang the Terrible first appeared as text stories in 
DC Thomsons story paper Adventure in 1936. Strang then reappeared in 1944 
in the pages of The Beano 
as a comic strip. Some of Strang's adventures, this time in colour comic strip form, 
from Adventure were reprinted in The Rover but were retitled Morgyn the Mighty 
and were now black and white.

A Morgyn the Mighty book was published in 1951.

Fictional character biography
Morgyn the Mighty is reputedly the world's strongest man. In the first storyline 
he is the sole survivor of the shipwrecked schooner Hebrides, stranded on Black Island. 
He uses his strength and talents to fight wild beasts and become master of the island.

Authors:
Writer:- The Victor editorial team.
 Artists:- Ted Rawlings, Kearon, Garcia, Carrion, Cooper, Dorey? and other unknown artists.

The Juggernaut from Planet Z (1964) from Hurricane - Compiled and edited by H. C.


 The eponymous protagonist of the Hurricane 
comic strip The Juggernaut from Planet Z
 was a giant robot. It was deliberately launched at Earth by unknown persons on 
a moving planetary body (referred to by Earth scientists as Planet Z) as s
aid planet was passing through our solar system for undisclosed reasons. 
The Juggernaut landed in Cumberland and was immediately attacked by 
the military, provoking a devastating response, but one 
Dr. Dan Morgan managed to calm it down.



The Juggernaut proved to be friendly and, although it subsequently
 returned home, 
Morgan was henceforth able to summon it from Planet Z 
when it was needed to aid
 Earth, apparently with the blessing of its mysterious masters.

The Juggernaut only appeared in Hurricane for about a year 
( (4 July - 19 September 1964) but continued to appear regularly 
in Hurricane Annuals until 1974.
Among the artists who drew the Juggernaut was Brian Lewis.
The Juggernaut is very similar to the title character of the novel 
The Iron Man by Ted Hughes (later adapted into the film "The Iron Giant"), 
which was was first published in 1968.

March of the Mighty Ones from Monster Fun (1975-1976) - Compiled and edited by H. C.


March of the Mighty Ones was a popular adventure serial 
serialized in the British comic Monster Fun during 
its original 1975–1976 run. 
Distinct from the rest of the publication's humorous 
monster strips, it provided a dramatic, action-oriented
 storyline reminiscent of classic sci-fi and monster films

Archie. The early stories from the Pages of the Lion - Compiled and edited by H. C.

The Jungle robot - Robot Archie
The First Adventures
from the Pages of the Lion

 Invented by Professor CR Ritchie
and given to his son Ted and his best end Ken Dale
for various expeditions into jungles to loot old temples
for treasure and fend off understandably irate. 
Natives who weren't altogether keen on the pals 
looting said treasures.

For about a decade the strip provided such four-square
 adventures but by the sixties Archie (his name always 
emblazoned on his chest 
in big letters in case the pals mistook him for some poor
 Peruvian tribesman who crossed their path)
 was freed of remote control
and given a voice box; becoming: more-or-less sentient.

The personality he was granted was that of a boisterous sat
always ready to tell everyone how great he was, always ready
to cannon through a wall instead of using a door,
always ready to dupe some local tribe into
 thinking he was a god
and always ready to just thump anyone 
and anything that got in his way.
The result was brilliance.
