Faceache (from Jet)

Faceache was a comic strip in, originally, the UK comic Jet, first appearing in issue 1, dated 1 May 1971.

An adult Faceache appears in the 2005 comic Albion, as one of a number of comic book characters who have been imprisoned by the British government.

Faceache, Frederick Akeley has the ability to change or "scrunge" his face and body into a vast variety of different forms, many quite monstrous in appearance.

In 1971 he created "Faceache", a boy who could "scrunge" his face into any shape, for Jet, which later moved to Buster where it continued until Reid's death.

On 2 February 1987, while drawing a page of "Faceache" at his home in Pendlebury, Greater Manchester, Reid suffered a stroke and died in hospital.

However the term "faceache" was commonly is use in England from the 1950s onwards and used as a derogatory term (as in ugly) but actually used to describe someone you knew well or loved.

Ken Reid (1919-1987) was a British comic artist and writer, best known as the co-creator of Roger the Dodger and Jonah for The Beano and Faceache for Jet (later appeared in Buster).
