Sadly, one gem that is often overlooked is Batman/Judge Dredd: Judgment On Gotham, a 1991 col­ laboration between DC Comics and Fleetway Publications. Written by an all-British creative team comprising John Wagner (who also happens to be Dredd's co-creator), Alan Grant and Simon Bisley, this labour of love united comics' Big Two law enforcers, each bringing their own unique and different perspectives of jus­ tice. Not to be confused with the 2011 Batman crossover event that shares the same name, this DC-Fleetway collaboration was strictly no-holds-barred when it came to boosting the popularity of both law-abiding heroes. However, since then, the two char­ acters' popularity have gone on different paths.

  • The Queen Mother and Wodehouse: an Unofficial Analysis by Todd Morning
    The quarterly journal of The Wodehouse Society Volume 32 Number 2 Summer 2011 The Queen Mother and Wodehouse: An Unofficial Analysis by Todd Morning s most members of our Society know, the late Queen Elizabeth, A the Queen Mother, was a Wodehouse fan and patron of The Wodehouse Society. So when I learned that The Queen Mother: The Official Biography, William Shawcross’s authorized biography of the Queen Mother, had been published, I decided to find out if it contained any official mentions of P. G. Wodehouse. I was not disappointed. The index includes six Wodehouse references. The first comes from a 1913 letter sent by the young Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon to her brother in which, Shawcross suggests, “her lifelong devotion to the novels of P. G. Wodehouse may have already begun.” It’s hard to say whether there’s a touch of early Wodehouse in this lighthearted letter or whether the future queen is having some fun with the then current Edwardian slang: “Arthur Duff has given me a NEW PONY. It’s 16 years old, but awfully good still. Only 11 days now. HOORAY. WHAT HO! PIP. PIP.” Most of the other references to Wodehouse occur in discussions of the Queen Mother’s reading habits, which were fairly wide-ranging. It was heartening to discover that the she did her bit to spread the word about Wodehouse. She advised the distinguished professor of church Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon history, Owen Chadwick, OM, KBE, FBA, FRSE, to read Gussie Fink- (later Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother) Nottle’s prize-giving speech in Right Ho, Jeeves.

    Mass Circulation Periodicals and the Harmsworth Legacy in the British Popular Magazine Industry Howard Cox University of Worcester Paper prepared for the European Business History Association Annual Conference, Bergen, Norway, 21-23 August 2008. This is a working draft and should not be cited without first obtaining the consent of the author. Professor Howard Cox Worcester Business School University of Worcester Henwick Grove Worcester WR2 6AJ UK Tel: +44 (0)1905 855400 e-mail: [email protected] 1 Mass Circulation Periodicals and the Harmsworth Legacy in the British Popular Magazine Industry Howard Cox University of Worcester Introduction This paper reviews some of the main developments in Britain’s popular magazine industry between the early 1880s and the mid 1960s. The role of the main protagonists is outlined, including the firms developed by George Newnes, Arthur Pearson, Edward Hulton, William and Gomer Berry, William Odhams and Roy Thomson. Particular emphasis is given to the activities of three members of the Harmsworth dynasty, of whom it could be said played the leading role in developing the general character of the industry during this period. In 1890s Alfred Harmsworth and his brother Harold, later Lord Northcliffe and Lord Rothermere respectively, created a publishing empire which they consolidated in 1902 through the formation of the £1.3 million Amalgamated Press (Dilnot, 1925: 35). During the course of the first half of the twentieth century, Amalgamated Press held the position of Britain’s leading popular magazine publisher, although the company itself was sold by Harold Harmsworth in 1926 to the Berry brothers in order to help pay the death duties on Alfred Harmsworth’s estate.

  • Monopoly, Power and Politics in Fleet Street: the Controversial Birth of IPC Magazines, 1958-63
    Monopoly, Power and Politics in Fleet Street: The Controversial Birth of IPC Magazines, 1958-63 Howard Cox and Simon Mowatt Britain’s newspaper and magazine publishing business did not fare particularly well during the 1950s. With leading newspaper proprietors placing their desire for political influence above that of financial performance, and with working practices in Fleet Street becoming virtually ungovernable, it was little surprise to find many leading periodical publishers on the verge of bankruptcy by the decade’s end. A notable exception to this general picture of financial mismanagement was provided by the chain of enterprises controlled by Roy Thomson. Having first established a base in Scotland in 1953 through the acquisition of the Scotsman newspaper publishing group, the Canadian entrepreneur brought a new commercial attitude and business strategy to bear on Britain’s periodical publishing industry. Using profits generated by a string of successful media activities, in 1959 Thomson bought a place in Fleet Street through the acquisition of Lord Kemsley’s chain of newspapers, which included the prestigious Sunday Times. Early in 1961 Thomson came to an agreement with Christopher Chancellor, the recently appointed chief executive of Odhams Press, to merge their two publishing groups and thereby create a major new force in the British newspaper and magazine publishing industry. The deal was never consummated however. Within days of publicly announcing the merger, Odhams found its shareholders being seduced by an improved offer from Cecil King, Chairman of Daily Mirror Newspapers, Ltd., which they duly accepted. The Mirror’s acquisition of Odhams was deeply controversial, mainly because it brought under common ownership the two left-leaning British popular newspapers, the Mirror and the Herald.

I am extremely grateful to them all for allowing me to draw on their memories to piece together the complex and entertaining story of the various papers covered in this book. First and foremost I must thank the former staff members of Look and Learn and Fleetway Publications (later IPC Magazines) for making themselves available for long and often rambling interviews, including Bob Bartholomew, Keith Chapman, Doug Church, Philip Gorton, Sue Lamb, Stan Macdonald, Leonard Matthews, Roy MacAdorey, Maggie Meade-King, John Melhuish, Mike Moorcock, Gil Page, Colin Parker, Jack Parker, Frank S. Pepper, Noreen Pleavin, John Sanders and Jim Storrie. My thanks also to Oliver Frey, Wilf Hardy, Wendy Meadway, Roger Payne and Clive Uptton, for detailing their artistic exploits on the magazine. Jenny Marlowe, Ronan Morgan, June Vincent and Beryl Vuolo also deserve thanks for their help filling in details that would otherwise have escaped me. David Abbott and Paul Philips, both of IPC Media, Susan Gardner of the Guild of Aviation Artists and Morva White of The Bible Society were all helpful in locating information and contacts.
