MORGAN Jeffery
Although biographical information about Jeff cannot be found, it appears that he was part of the Toronto graphic arts community. His work appeared in the publications Andromeda, Canadian Comics Cavalcade, Mister X and Vortex. He also partnered with Mark Asquith and Ken Steacy on cartoon stories.
His “Studio” serial is interesting in that its characters appear based on Jeff’s friends and associates mostly connected with Vortex Comics Inc. Dean Modern, Rob Muckanmire, Paul Revox, Ken Spacey and Bill Sparks have suspicious resemblances to Dean Motter, Rob MacIntyre, Paul Rivoche, Ken Steacy and Bill Marks. The character “Mister Z” reminds one of “Mister X”. The “Studio” serial ended abruptly when “Johnny Slaughter” killed all the original characters. It was replaced by the single page cartoon serial “Johnny Slaughter” which lampooned the mainstream comic book vigilante hero.
