"Maggot" Malone

A rough-and-tumble Silver Age creation from the British comics scene, "Maggot" Malone burst onto the pages of IPC's Valiant in October 1962, brought to life by writer Kenneth Bulmer and the distinctive artwork of Jesús Blasco. Running through the early 1970s, this scrappy character carved out his niche in the colourful world of British weekly comics, sharing those ink-soaked pages with the likes of Captain Hercules Hurricane and the roguish Jack O'Justice. A genuine piece of Silver Age British comics heritage, "Maggot" Malone is the kind of character that reminds you just how rich and varied the IPC stable truly was beyond the American mainstream.
