A Silver Age creation of the talented Argentine artist Francisco Solano López, Dr. Dick Rivers made his debut in the pages of Knockout in July 1962, bringing a dash of adventure and intrigue to the beloved British comics weekly from Amalgamated Press. Over a run stretching into the late 1960s, he carved out his niche across Knockout and Buster, sharing those ink-and-paper pages with a wonderfully eclectic cast that includes Tim Kelly, Strongbow, and even the legendary Billy Bunter himself.
