The Sleeze Brothers 1-6 Complete Set Epic Comics LANNING CARNELL HIGGINS 1989

The Sleeze Brothers was written by John Carnell, with art by Andy Lanning. The characters were spun off from a Doctor Who comic strip by Carnell entitled "Follow That TARDIS!", published in Doctor Who Magazine #147 (April 1989). Many pointed out the clear similarities between the characters and Jake and Elwood Blues from the hit movie The Blues Brothers; Carnell instead claimed the characters were based on Lanning's cousins, Phil and Pete Carmichael, as well as Laurel and Hardy.[1] The book was reputedly commissioned in response to Marvel president Jim Galton challenging Marvel UK to produce a title for mature readers.[2]

The comics themselves are littered with contemporary parodies of both real and fictional characters, and occasional real life current affairs from 1989 and 1990. Additionally, the Sleeze Brothers storylines feature a variety of comical adult situations, and colourful (though not profane) language.
