The Gentle Giant

A strip from The Victor

See The Victor issues 604 - 612.

Writer:- The Victor editorial team. Artist:- Not known.

Main cast:- Jimmy Evans; Albert Cranley.

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

This is another solid humorous strip from D.C. Thomson. This series sees two different characters with different skill sets team up with the usual humorous results. Jimmy Evans is the perfect athlete, who doesn't realise his potential. Albert Cranley does see Jimmy's potential and in his mind sees the pounds rolling in. Cue humour and plenty of laughs.

I've no idea who the artist is, but I have a feeling he's well known to more knowledgeable comic fans. If anyone knows please drop me an e-mail. Thank you.

The following adventures of The Gentle Giant are from issues 604; 605; 607; 608; 611 & 612.
