Billy Bunter - Valiant 1963-1976 + Special & Various. UK Comics Archive Compilations

William George “Billy” Bunter is a fictional schoolboy created by Charles Hamilton using the pen name Frank Richards. He features in stories set at Greyfriars School, originally published in the boys’ weekly story paper The Magnet from 1908 to 1940. Subsequently, Bunter has appeared in novels, on television, in stage plays, and in comic strips.

He is in the Lower Fourth form of Greyfriars School, known as the Remove, whose members are 14–15 years of age. Originally a minor character, his role was expanded over the years with his antics being heavily used in the stories to provide comic relief and to drive forward the plots.

After The Magnet closed in 1940, Bunter appeared in children’s comics, as a strip cartoon character: initially, from 15 June 1940, he appeared in Knockout (which, like The Magnet, was published by The Amalgamated Press). Although Knockout had begun only in 1939, it already had a circulation several times that of The Magnet. C H Chapman, the last illustrator for The Magnet, drew the first nine Knockout strips in 1939, after which several artists were tried, before Frank Minnitt established himself with a beaming and bouncy Bunter, which at first followed Chapman’s style, then later branched into a style of his own, concentrating on slapstick humour. Soon the Famous Five vanished from the strip, replaced by Jones minor, who had all the good qualities Bunter lacked, but who was prone to being led astray by Bunter. The form-master, Mr Quelch, stayed (at least in name), but he lost his dignity and aloofness.

Minnitt continued producing the strip until his death in 1958. Reg Parlett then took over until Knockout ceased publication in 1961, when the strip transferred to Valiant comic, and then to TV Comic, where it ran until 1984. Bunter also appeared in many Knockout annuals, even on some covers.

C. H. Chapman drew a strip for The Comet comic in 1956, which featured the classical old Bunter of The Magnet and the Famous Five, consisting of twelve weeks of 2-page strips (24 pages in all). Altogether, Bunter’s appearances in Comet lasted from March 1950 until June 1958, with picture stories from February 1952.

From 1955, Billy Bunter comic strips were published in the Netherlands, in the Dutch-language comic Sjors, with the character renamed “Billie Turf”. Bunter thus became one of the house characters of that comic and its successors, and so continued appearing in anthology-style collections in Dutch until the end of the 20th century. “Billie Turf” comic strip albums were published from 1963 onwards, and have continued into the 21st century. Three Billie Turf movies were made between 1978 and 1983, mostly spelling the name of the main character as “Billy Turf”.

Accident Man #01- #24 (1991) Complete Series

Accident Man is a character from the defunct monthly UK comic Toxic! written 

by the comic writer Pat Mills in the early 1990s.

The story centered around the life of Mike Fallon, a high-class hitman. 

Fallon was known for making his murders look like 

accidents often going to extravagant lengths to pull this ruse 

off. The Fallon character was also noted for his love of high 

living and glamorous girlfriends. Mike Fallons, "I dont give a damn" attitude 

to his hits was changed the day his girlfriend (a 

would-be Greenpeace activist) was murdered! Fallon then 

went on a murderous rampage to find out who paid the contract 

on his girlfriend and who actually made the hit.

Three Accident Man story series ran in Toxic!, for between 

6 and 8 issues each and the first two were reprinted.

Accident Man (by Pat Mills/Tony Skinner) 

"Accident Man" (with Martin Emond, in Toxic! #1-6, 1991, reprinted in Apocalypse Presents "Accident Man", 1991)

Heros the Spartan. Frank Bellamy, Luis Bermejo, Tom Tully - UK Comics Archive Compilations

In 1962 Frank Bellamy was asked to draw a new Roman

epic strip for the Eagle, written by Tom Tully.

Heros begins with a brief explanation about how,

as a young boy, Sparta falls to The Roman advance through

Greece (around 145 BC). 

Arcus, commander of a Roman legion,admires his enemies even as

 he slays them and when a child

survivor is brought to him, he adost the boy whom he names Heros.

The dark fantasy elements of  the story allowed artist

Frank Bellamy full reign to his imagination.

After two episodes (1963) Bellamy temporarily abandons the series and leaves it for an adventure with Luis Bermejo whose work is perfectly up to par. 

The Spanish designer takes up the style of the English and succeeds remarkably. 

Some even prefer Bermejo's design and colors. Bellamy returns for a new adventure, 

leaves room for Bermejo again and returns one last time for 

a short episode published in the 1966 Eagle Almanac.

Abbott & Costello - UK Comics Archive Compilation

Abbott and Costello were an American comedy duo composed of Bud Abbott and Lou Costello, whose work on radio and in film and television made them the most popular comedy team
 of the 1940s and early 1950s.
Their patter routine “Who’s on First?” is one of the best-known comedy routines of all time, and set the framework for many of their best-known comedy bits.

Norman Ward contributed to the comics of the Amalgamated Press (AP) for twenty five years, mainly for Film Fun. He was an ex-Telegraph Boy who later emmigrated to Australia, returning in 1932. His first published work was in George Newnes’ Tit-Bits and his first regular weekly spot was for Detective Weekly (AP) in 1937 drawing cartoons about prisons and prisoners.
Other titles quickly followed. In 1940 he began to draw for Film Fun. After the war (in which he served in the Royal Artillery) he returned to Film Fun to which he continued to contribute for some years. His comic depictions of
 Lou Abbott and Bud Costello are considered to be amongst his best work.

NOTE: Ward primarily drew Abbott & Costello but AP enforced a certain style that could be adapted by other artists if required.
