Frank Dickens

An actor, artist and writer, Frank Dickens published his first comic strip series, 'Oddbod', in The Sunday Times in 1960. This series featured the character 'Bristow', the likeable employee of the Chester-Perry organization, who soon got his own strip. The Bristow character brought a new look to office humor.

By 1966, Dickens was his own publisher. Around this time, he also came up with other creations, such as 'Willie Biggelow' (1966) and 'Striker' (1970). Some of Frank Dickens' other characters include Teddy Pig, Nippa, Albert Herbert Hawkins and Lucy Lanzarote, who all appeared in British and foreign comics magazines.
