Author Bio
Born in Scotland, Alex Graham began selling cartoons to magazines during World War II. He created a comic strip, Wee Hughie , in 1945 and continued this feature until about 1970 in the Dundee Weekly News. Graham produced two other comics, Our Bill and Briggs the Butler in 1946. On July 9, 1963, Graham began the comic strip with which he is most closely associated: Fred Basset . The strip still continues in the Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday , and a book of the Fred cartoons is published every year.
