Mervyn's Monsters

Post by stevezodiac »

My mate gave me some of his doubles on Saturday and among them were several copies of Buster & Giggle. I'd forgotten all about Mervyn's Monsters and don't remember it being mentioned here. Isn't it glorious? Obviously its Baxendale but then as always I start to wonder if it could be Mike Brown. Its a bit like "who wrote what" with the Beatles. I wish we could have a checklist of Mike Brown's work.

Mr. Baxendale wrote and drew Mervyn's Monsters.

The Barmy Army pages you have as by Mike Brown are by Gordon Hogg. I don't think Mike was even working for Odhams as early as that stage.
