The Comic Strip antics of film comedian
Frank Randle
Culled from the pages of
Vintage ‘Film Fun’ Annuals and Comics.
His 1947 Butchers Films production ‘When You Come Home’ was the inspiration for his inclusion in ‘Film Fun’. He appeared in the comic for the first time that same year with the strip continuing until 1955 two years after he had made his last film ‘It’s a Grand Life’ and two years before he died.
‘Film Fun’ was published by Amalgamated Press who had an in-house stable of talented artists. Randle was first caricatured by Harry Parlett and later A.T.'Bertie' Brown.
Parlett's two sons George and Reg also continued in the family tradition at the same firm.
Many of Frank Randle's ‘Film Fun’ cartoon strips have been brought together for the first time
in this publication.
