Marvo the Wonder Chicken is a character in the UK
comic The Dandy. The strip first appeared in 1990, and continued in odd issues until 1999. He returned in 2008 to tie in with the planned DC Thomson TV series.[1] The strip is "silent", with only words such like "Crash" and "Bang", and ending with Marvo saying "Ta-da
".
Marvo's sidekick and biggest fan, Henry Thrapplewhacker XLIX, also appears.
The strip was originally drawn by
BeanoMAX, and Cuddles and Dimples
for the Dandy. It was dropped after Dandy Xtreme reverted to just The Dandy, with Marvo taking his final bow in issue 3507, dated 9 October 2010. He returned in issue 3515, dated 18 December 2010, but has not returned since.
An animated version of the comic strip appeared in 2010, with 51 episodes.[2]
