DENNIS THE MENACE
In WOW! 366Scholastic
Some short stories are shorter than others - and this one was REALLY short. 366 words was the request, not a word more, not a word less. I was working on the Beano so I was asked to write a Dennis the Menace short story for this charity anthology. It was good fun and I'm in fairly exalted company there.
NORMAN'S HORRIBLE HOMEWORK
in the Dandy Annual 2004
A short story written with a definite nod to the wonderful Roald Dahl in its style. It's not in his league but it was a fun story to write... a young lad named Norman who hates homework so much that things turn MONSTROUS.

DANTA CLAUS
in The Dandy Christmas issue 2003
Prose stories were a thing long consigned to the past for British comics by the Twenty-First Century. We thought it might be fun to have a text story in our longer Christmas issue. I was deputy editor at the time so I blagged the job for myself.
So, when Santa suffers a mishap, Dan and his pals head to the North Pole to help Santa out.
