Preview – ‘Birdman And Chicken: The Krazy Crusaders’ – More Classic Brit Humour Brought Back By The Treasury Of British Comics
by Richard Bruton
Cowled and caped, it’s the crime-bustin’ duo that went Krazy in the ’70s – Trevor Metcalf’s Birdman and Chicken, the latest classic reprint from The Treasury of British Comics

To the outside world, Dick Lane and Mick Mason look like two average, law-abiding citizens – however, they lead an amazing double life!
For when fiendish finks and vile villains step over the line, Dick and Mick strike back as the crime-fighting duo, Birdman and Chicken!
Oh yes, it’s time to revisit the wacky and Krazy world of Birdman and Chicken, Trevor Metcalf’s funny, funny, funny parody of the ’60s Batman & Robin series.
Cowled, caped and equipped with a vast array of crime-busting gadgets, Birdman and his not-so-bright sidekick Chicken – nicknamed ‘The Boy Blunder’ – fight back against the likes of The Giggler, Sourpuss, The Puzzler and Father Time – and sometimes they even win!
Collected for the very first time, this is the classic superhero parody from the ’70s, originally serialised in Krazy comic from 1976-1978 and much loved and so well remembered by a legion of fans.
