Charlie Peace (comics)

The Astounding Adventures of Charlie Peace was a comic strip in the UK comic Buster, based on the real-life exploits of nineteenth-century thief Charles Peace[1]. The first strip was published on 20 July 1964 in Valiant as a special preview, then ran in Buster from 27 June 1964 to 15 June 1974. When it started it was set in Victorian times, but in an episode published in January 1968 Charlie was tricked by an inventor into entering a time machine disguised as a safe, and transported to modern London. The strip was drawn by Eric Bradbury (1964–1965), Tom Kerr (1964–1966), Jack Pamby (1965–1974), Alan Philpott (1966), Douglas Maxted (1966), and Anon (1966). The strip's principal artist was Jack Pamby, who drew every issue between August 1966 and June 1974. [2]

gollark: I think we should just try and switch to nuclear fission power and implement some form of carbon tax.
gollark: I don't think carbon capture is actually that usable yet.
gollark: Oh yes, right, that.
