In the 1950s Arnold Miller set up his own branch of L. Miller and Son, the Arnold Book Company (ABC), to publish original British comics, such as Ace Malloy of the Special Squadron (a war comic), Mike Donovan Detective Comic, and Space Comics, which starred Captain Vic Valiant of the Interplanetary Police Patrol, Space Commander Kerry and Space Commando. In 1952 Arnold hired Mick Anglo to work on some of these titles, and in 1954 Anglo produced the short-lived ABC title Captain Universe, around the same time he was working on Marvelman for L. Miller and Son.
