Ken Mennell - Death Trap

For collectors of Eagle comic material this is a paperback that you could consider adding to your 'wants' list. 

Ken Mennell worked on a number of comics titles, notably Black Max and The Steel Claw. He also worked on the original Eagle (on The Iron Man, The Gladiators, The Waxer) and was the 'voice' of News from the floor of 64 in the Power comics.

The most complete guide to his work that I can find is in Eagle Times, volume 1, issue 3 (Autumn 1988) where David Gould has written a 3 page article on Ken (with some help form Ken's son, Ian)
