Theo Drake Detective

A modest but long-running British crime comic, Theo Drake Detective was published by L. Miller & Son from 1959 onward, spanning seven issues. The series followed the gritty, street-level investigations of its titular detective, with stories primarily written by John Broome and Ed Herron, and illustrated by a rotating team of artists including Mike Roy, Fran Matera, and Jim Christiansen. Though short in its initial run, the series stands as a distinctive example of mid-century British crime comics, showcasing the talents of several American comic book veterans working across the Atlantic.
