Topper #414 (1960)

History[]

Nick Kelly was a secret agent who had a lengthy career finding often extremely silly solutions to supposedly serious situations, usually aided by his assistant Cedric (and later, briefly, by Cedric's irritating nephew Harry).

Notes[]

Kelly's strip was one of the longest running in Topper, but went through several title changes along the way, starting as Send for Kelly before becoming Nick Kelly, Secret Agent and later just Nick Kelly. It ended up in the merged Beezer & Topper. He also appeared in Hotspur annuals, and was later revived in BeanoMAX.

Trivia[]

Kelly started out as a fairly competent character, but towards the end of his career he was frequently depicted as a figure of fun.
