This next section was written as a tribute to Dick Millington, who passed away last year.
Here is a mini tribute to artist Dick Millington (who recently passed away). Most of the comics blogs are currently showing the strip he is most famous for, TV Comics’ Mighty Moth.
Today, I have three strips from TV Comic, one from 1969 and two from 1971. The Mighty Moth strips I’m showing are from Nos.898 (1/3/1969), No. 1000 (13/2/1971) and No. 1003 (6/3/1971).
