Martin Baxendale's comic work the son of Leo..:)

Buster mid 70's
Thanks to Leo Baxendale himself in an earlier post we now know that this is by Martin Baxendale who took over some of Leo's Buster comic work when he left to do Bad Time Bedtime story in Monster fun 1975 April. The style is very good and I really thought it was by Leo Baxendale or Colin Whittock.





Jackpot early 80's...Tom Paterson was the main artist and Nigel Edwards


Whoopee and Wow..a good team up of Kid Comic and Smiler when Whoopee's Smiler joined Wow's Kid Comic.

Dear Peter

The 'Snooper' page of 13 Sept 1975 you've reproduced
isn't by me. By then I'd stopped drawing Snooper and
everything else so that I could put all of my time into drawing
The Bad Time Bed Time Books. This Snooper looks to
me to have been drawn by my son Martin, who did carry
on the Snooper strips for editor Len Wenn for a while.
Soon after, of course, I stopped freelancing for the
children's comics industry forever, and went off to
create the Willy the Kid books for Duckworths.
And so on, and so on.

Regards Leo Baxendale

Thanks Leo for the correction and the extra info.
As a lot of people know on this blog I'm a huge fan of Leo's work and is my favourite comic artist. Love the Banana Bunch the best!
My heart beated a bit faster recieving that email...:)

Tom Paterson is also up the top of my list which came after Leo...
