Mr CUSTA

The character of Mr Custa was created by writer, Philip Whitmore. Inspired largely by Dr Who, Monty Python and the wonderfully zany Kenny Everett's, Captain Kremmen, it was originally produced as a series of radio shorts with 101.8 WCR FM in Wolverhampton, and later with Gorgeous Radio and Cannock Chase Radio, moving on to become the subject of live stage plays. Following on from the publishing of a Mr Custa comic book, because of their involvement with such strips as Wallace and Gromit, Shaun the Sheep, Bash St. Kids, professional comic book artists, Mychailo Kazybrid and Bambos Georgiou went on to produce a number of Mr Custa strips appearing in David Lloyd's award winning digital comic, Aces Weekly.
