Burt Travis

A British Silver Age adventurer through and through, Burt Travis made his debut in the pages of Lion in 1968, the beloved IPC anthology that was a cornerstone of UK comics culture. With 27 appearances to his name, he carved out a steady presence in that storied weekly, sharing its action-packed pages with a colourful cast including Robot Archie and Gadgetman. For collectors with a soft spot for the golden era of British comics weeklies, Burt Travis is exactly the kind of character who rewards a deep dive into the Lion back-issue bins.
