 Reflecting this, the new lead, on page 3, was "Master of the Marsh", drawn by Solano Lopez, a sports serial about Patchman, a strange hermit who lived in the East Anglian fens.He was appointed as the new sports master at Marshside Secondary School, nicknamed 'The Marsh', because he was the only person who could control the kids – a group of hooligans known as 'the Monsters of the Marsh'.There was an association of ideas between fens and marsh, reinforced by the fact that Patchman camped in the inaccessible heart of the marshes.
