Maurice Bramley (11 September 1898 – 15 June 1975), was a New Zealand born Australian cartoonist and commercial artist.
[7] As well as Horwitz and Page Publications comic covers,[1] he worked on issues of Frogman,[8] Navy Combat and The Phantom Commando, taking over the later from John Dixon.
[4] Toby Burrows in Comics in Australia and New Zealand describes him as follows, "As a straight illustrator, Bramley, can more than hold his own with those artists mentioned above [ Monty Wedd, John Dixon, Hart Amos, Stanley Pitt, Vernon Hayles, Moira Bertram and Phil Belbin], and in some cases a lot better".
[7][12] Bramley married Adele ('Dell') Violet Cox-Taylor on 19 August 1925,[3] using her likeness for many of the women featured in his pulp novel cover illustrations.
From the 1950s until the early 1960s Bramley lived in Tuross Head, on the New South Wales coast, where he used many of the residents as models for characters appearing within his comics.
