Dicky Howett has been a prominent figure in popular culture since the 1960s, with his cartoons appearing in newspapers and magazines across the UK. In the 1970s, he entered the comic book marketplace and gained fame as a fan favorite after being signed by Marvel Comics to recreate their super-hero universe with a humorous twist. Howett's creativity extended to the world of Doctor Who, where he created a monthly strip with collaborator Tim Quinn that ran for fifteen years. This success led to the production of books, greeting cards, posters, more comic strips, and t-shirts, allowing him to further his passion for film and television.

In 1978, Howett founded Golden Age Television, a company that not only hired the gear but also started filming videos with top names in the Pop and Rock world. His timing was perfect, as film and television studios lined up to hire the equipment for period productions. Howett's company also filmed videos with top names in the Pop and Rock world, allowing him to further his passion for film and television.

In 2023, Howett released two new books of comics and cartoons, titled "I Filmed The Horrors The Baddies The Kills and The Dead." The books provide an inside story of the extraordinary worlds of comic books, movie, and video production, conducted by a master storyteller.

Tim Quinn, author of Argh, Who's 60?, Fantastic 400, Heroes, and The Queen, praised Howett's work, saying, "Dicky's cartoons are a joy to read and his stories are timeless. He has a unique ability to bring characters to life and make them relatable to a wide audience."

Howett's legacy continues to inspire new generations of artists and storytellers, and his work will be remembered for years to come.
