Allan Morley (Scarborough, North Yorkshire, Great Britain, 29 April 1895 - Thanet, Kent 5 September 1960[1]) was a British comic artist.
He drew Keyhole Kate, Hungry Horace and Freddie the Fearless Fly, three long-running strips which first appeared in the first issue of The Dandy.
He also drew a number of strips for The Beano, including Big Fat Joe, which appeared in the comic's first issue.
[2] Allan Morley was held in such high regard by DC Thomson that they said the comics might close without him.
[3] Along with Dudley D. Watkins, Allan Morley was one of the first artists allowed to sign his work, which he did from January 1947.
