A strip from The Hotspur

See The Hotspur issues 32-47.

Writer:- The Hotspur editorial team. Artist:- Ted Rawlings.

Main cast:- Tony Martin.

Time period:- present day (1960's).

Meet Tony Martin, who used to work at Bantrums Circus as the Ace of Acrobats. But when the circus burned down Tony along with others was out of a job. Mr. Bantrum, the owner of the circus, gives Tony a letter of introduction to Fred Adams, who runs an agency. But what sort of work can he provide an out of work acrobat? The answer is as a stunt man working in films, television and commercials.

Follow Tony's adventures as he learns the trade of being a stuntman. He's also required to deal with two other nasty pieces of work stuntmen who take a dislike to the young man. Can Tony thwart their dangerous and varied tricks and and survive the various stunts he is required to do? Read the selection of exciting episodes below to find out.

Artwork is by the ever popular artist Ted Rawlings. Personally, I can't get enough of viewing his work. Very pleasing on the eye. He captures the 'movement' of figures and objects via the use of movement lines very dramatically.

***WARNING - Remember lads and lasses, do not try any of these stunts at home. Tony Martin is a comic book character, you are not.***

The following adventures of Tony Martin are from issues 32; 33; 34; 35; 38; 41; 45 & 46.
