Reg Eves
Reginald Thompson Eves〔Index of Births, Hackney, 1893Q1〕 was a British editor and writer of comics and story papers for the Amalgamated Press. He joined the company in 1908,〔Alan Clark, ''Dictionary of British Comic Artists, Writers and Editors'', The British Library, 1998, p. 55〕 and during the First World War was assistant editor, under editor John Nix Pentelow, of the boys' story papers ''The Magnet'' and ''The Gem'',〔Steve Holland, (The Men Behind Girls' Fiction ), Collecting Books and Magazines, 2001〕 also writing many of the stories.〔 He was impressed by the letters he received from female readers of ''The Magnet'', and after the war, when AP were seeking to expand into new markets, he launched the girls' story paper ''School Friend'' in 1919, becoming its first editor. However, he primarily used the male writers he was familiar with from the boys' papers, like Charles Hamilton.〔
In the 1920s he took charge of a group of papers, including ''The Champion'', ''The Rocket'' and ''The Triumph''.〔 In 1954 he was the editor of ''Lion'', a new weekly comic launched to compete with Hulton Press' ''Eagle''. Despite having no interest in science fiction, he was under orders from management to have a space hero to compete with Dan Dare, and commissioned "Captain Condor" from writer Frank S. Pepper.〔Andrew Darlington, "Captain Condor: Space Hero in Search of an Artist", (''The Mentor'' 84 ), October 1994, pp. 5-8, 11〕 He retired in 1959〔Steve Holland, (''Look and Learn'': a History of the Classic Children's Magazine ), 2006, p. 29〕 and died in 1972.〔Index of Deaths, Dartford, 1972Q3〕
