Rick Slade

Rick Slade burst onto the pages of Lion in February 1965, a Silver Age creation from the pen of Ted Cowan and the artwork of Ted Kearon, launching into one of IPC's most beloved British anthology comics. In the lively pages of Lion, he shares adventures alongside a wonderfully eclectic cast — including the mechanical marvel Robot Archie and the highway hero Zip Nolan — placing him squarely in that golden era of action-packed British weekly comics. A compact but intriguing presence in the catalog, Rick Slade is a genuine piece of mid-sixties IPC history, the kind of character that reminds collectors just how rich and varied the British comics scene truly was.
