DOUG MAXTED (who wrote and drew most of the features in Click Comics) is a creator only known in broad details. Maxted was born in England and immigrated to Australia in 1925 at eleven years of age and worked in the Australian comics industry during the 1940s and 1950s. Between 1947-1949 Maxted ran his own publishing company, publishing Ben Barbary Bushranger Comics. Maxted immigrated back to England in 1963 and worked primarily for IPC magazines for the twenty years until his return to Australia in 1983. Maxted died in 1999.

LEONARD MIATKE was a gifted artist from a young age - he was barely in his teens when his cartoons and illustrations were being published in an Adelaide newspaper. After his war service, Miatke produced comics stories for publishers H E Hoffman and Doug Maxted under his own name and the penname Leonard Starr. Sadly, this career was cut short when Miatke died, aged 31.
