Sid Burgon

Post by blaing »

I have a question for you in regards to Sid Burgon

I know his earliest work that I know of was Joker (in Knockout) and the last work that I know of he did was Biffo the Bear for the Beano, and Adrian the Barbarian for the Beezer (and later the Beezer and Topper) as well as Bully Beef and Chips for the Dandy

I was wondering if he did any work before 1971 and after this period.

Joker is the first I know of. He also did Keyhole Kate in the Dandy in the 1990s, but I think he retired after his run on Bully Beef and Chips. He's 79 now.

He was doing Lollypop for Whoopee in 1977... I know this because he left his moniker on said work.

Sid was a professional cartoonist from 1963, although he used his initials as a pseudonym then (SWAB). He retired in 2012. More info here:
