By arrangement with Rebellion Publishing Ltd, I have published an official collected edition of MERVYN'S MONSTERS – a strip written and illustrated by British comic legend Leo Baxendale who created it for BUSTER AND GIGGLE in 1968.
The two-pager ran for 34 weeks between 20th January and 7th September 1968, it follows the adventures of a brainy boy of M.U.M (Mervyn’s Undercover Monsters), who, with his team of merry monsters, fights the dreaded C.R.U.S.H. organisation (Crafty Rascal’s Union of Saboteurs and Hoodlums), headed by Oscar Mush and masterminded by Professor Baldylocks. In Leo Baxendale’s own words, the strip was an “offshoot of Eagle Eye Junior Spy in WHAM! comic, grafted on to The Man from U.N.C.L.E. situation”.

Part of the strip was reprinted in the first edition WHOOPEE! BOOK OF FRANKIE STEIN published for the Christmas of 1975. Some of the pages appearing in the book have been doctored and adapted to the format of the book.
This limited edition comes in two formats: hardcover (with free print) and paperback. Paperback is £25.84 and hardcover (with free print) is £33.54; the prices include UK postage. The books are available exclusively from my e-shop KAZOOP COMICS SHOP so please check them out and show your support!
