[edit] Biography
He is best known for creating the Captain Marvel-based Marvelman, better known to American readers as Miracleman. However, from his Gower Street Studio in the 1950s, Anglo had a hand in the creation of many independent comic books and magazines. Anglo and his staff created "packets" for various publishers. A packet comprised the entire content of a publication whether in be comic books stories, columns, articles, letter pages, gags, contests, etc. The British small press independent periodical market disintegrated in the years immediately after 1959 when the legal importation of American publications to Britain began.
