Mike Brown's Bedtime

Title box for book No. 3
Leo Baxendale's last weekly comic work was for Monster Fun, where he was given the centre spread for his Badtime Bedtime Story Books! However, when reading the below one entitled 'At The Apple's Core', I noticed the artist was Mike Brown - not Bax! 


Does anybody know if he drew any other books?

According to the Badtime Bedtime Book checklist, the last credited work by Leo was "William the Conk" in issue 28 of Monster Fun.

There were a few others supposedly to Bax, but I think he had already left IPC at this time.

here is the link for the Badtime Bedtime Books

Thanks for the link - I'll take a look at some other Badtime Bedtime books and see if I can clear anything up.

I may even post Baxendale's last on the site! Stay tuned...

Mike Brown did quite a lot of stuff ghosting Baxendale's style, as did Graham Allen and of course Tom Paterson. I think he was a really good cartoonist in his own right.

I think he deserves a bit more recognition. He is a fantastic artist, also drawing Super Dad for Whizzer and Chips and Brenda's Brownies for Sandie.
