Birdman and Chicken

Birdman and Chicken was a British comic strip published in Krazy from 1977 until 1978 and drawn by Trevor Metcalfe. It concerned the (mis)adventures of the superhero 'Birdman' and his not-so-bright sidekick 'Chicken', who was nicknamed 'The Boy Blunder'. The title and stories were a parody of Batman.[1][2]

It ran in the issues of Krazy from 11 December 1976 to 25 June 1977 and 9 July 1977 to 15 April 1978, as well as the Krazy Annuals from 1978-1985.[3] The only edition which was not illustrated by Metcalfe was The Bookworm Browser two-parter (10, 17 December 1977), which was illustrated by Thomas Williams.[3]
