Middy Malone's Magazine

From 1946 to 1948, Fatty Finn Publications released Middy Malone's Magazine, a 25-issue Australian comic series that captured the post-war energy of local adventure and humor. The title character, a spirited young protagonist, anchored a rotating cast of stories drawn and written by a core trio of creators—Monty Wedd, Syd Nicholls, and Yaroslav Horak—whose versatile work defined the series' lively, homespun feel. As one of the era's few dedicated Australian comic magazines, it stands as a modest but fondly remembered showcase of the country's early comic talent and independent publishing spirit.
