Sir Edward George Warris Hulton (29 November 1906 – 8 October 1988) was a British magazine publisher and writer.
[1][2][3] Hulton was born to Sir Edward Hulton, 1st Baronet, a newspaper publisher and racehorse owner originally from Manchester, and his second wife, music hall artist, actress and singer Millicent Warris, born Fanny Elizabeth Warriss or Wariss, also known by the stage name Millie Lindon.
The Hulton Press went on to publish Leader Magazine, Lilliput and the Picture Post, as well as the children's comics Eagle, Girl, Robin, and Swift.
[5] Hulton helped fund the Home Guard training school at Osterley Park, organising a private supply of weapons from the United States.
Though he had stood unsuccessfully as a Conservative candidate at Leek in 1929, his 1943 book The New Age supported a mixed welfare-state economy and he welcomed Attlee's 1945 government.
