Janus Stark, or The Incredible Adventures of Janus Stark, is a British comic strip series, originally written by Tom Tully and drawn by Francisco Solano López. It is about an escapologist in Victorian London who appears to be simply an unusual act on the music hall stage, but who privately uses his extraordinary abilities to battle against injustice.[1] The strip debuted on 15 March 1969 in Smash! and ran in that title until 1971,[2][3] when it moved to Valiant, running for another four years until 1975.
The character was later revived in France, running in his own title until the mid-1980s.
