Buster 1966.
The Duke's Spook is not the work of anyone trying to imitate Reg Parlett. It is the fine work of AP comic strip veteran Arthur Martin who drew all kinds of strips for AP titles from the 1930's through to the late 1970's. For example Charlie Drake was a strip he drew for nearly 10 years (1958-1967) in Radio Fun and then Buster. Thanks Kashgar for the info.

The Duke's Spook is a whole lot of fun! Living in the USA, I've never seen ANY of the comics on this blog before, so I've got a lot of posts to read.

Hi Peter...I just started to look at the artists you recommended and there's so much good stuff! I'm not really sure why most of these comics are unknown to most Amaricans...I mean we speak the same language (most of the time).
I really like Davy Law's stuff...very fast and loose linework with a lot of life. That little article on "Stick Figure Action" Drawing is dead-on perfect!
