The Twitopians taking over our World!! from Buster.


8th Feb 1969. Buster and Giggle.


19th July 1969 Buster.


17th January 1970 Buster.


I like the originality of the strip...small invaders trying to take over our World.
Very Quirky. The strip was drawn by Stan McMurty and Gordon Hogg. Anyone want to guess who drew what out of these three?

Leo Baxendale- Stan McMurty who drew what? part 4


Leo Baxendale

Smash! number 10 9th April 1966.
Stan McMurty (Mac from Daily Mail)

The difference is the face...more rounder, shorter and younger looking for Grimly from Stan.
Stan also drew in Buster- Percy's Pets, Son of Sherlock and
The Twitopians.

Leo Baxendale- Stan McMurty, Brian Lewis who drew what? part 2


Stan McMurty. ("Mac" from the Daily Mail.)
Thanks to Lew Stringer for the information.
Stan also drew Grimley Feendish which Leo Baxendale also drew.
I'll show in another post so you can see the differences.

Again Brian Lewis and Mike Browns work is often confused with Leo Baxendale. Its interesting to compare the two together. In this period the best way to tell is often by the Leo's signature. It seems Leo does more different type panels like zoom in on characters faces. Also a brush wash again is used. The earlier Wham! comic seems to be more likely to be drawn by Leo.
