Excerpt: Michael "Mick" Anglo (born Maurice Anglowitz, 1916) is a British comic book writer, editor and artist, as well as an author. He is best known for creating the superhero Marvelman, later known as Miracleman. Born in Bow, London, Mick Anglo was educated at the Central Foundation School and John Cass Art School, both in London.
