Wayback Whensday: Comic Strips Both Foreign and Domestic

It was in the early 1970s I learned of England’s infatuation with adapting film and TV to comic strips. A fondness that included American big and small screen characters. One of those latter “actors” that came to British comics in the 1960s was Deputy Dawg.

“Deputy Dawg” makes his debut drawn by James Malcolm in the weekly Sparky Issue 140, cover dated 23rd September 1967

John Freeman at downthetubes goes on a search to find Who Drew Britain’s “Deputy Dawg” Comic.
