Yvonne Hutton née Mullins, (born 31 October 1941, died March 1992) was a British comics artist best known for her work on the football series Roy of the Rovers.
While attending Poole Art College,[1] Hutton got work in comics through Colin Page's studio.[2] She drew the "Roy of the Rovers" strip in Tiger from 1967 to 1975, and again in 1976–78,[3] as well as a number of back-up strips in Roy of the Rovers weekly, including "Durrell's Palace" (1981–85), "Wayne's Wolves" (1985–86) "Kevin's Chance" (1986–87) "City" (1987–88), and "Terrible Twins" (1988–89).[4] Her Roy of the Rovers covers were known to be "Powerful and Dynamic" during the early 70s.[5] She also drew the Roy of the Rovers daily strip in the Daily Star and was the first artist to draw the story when it first appeared.[6] Hutton had a car accident in December 1991, which eventually resulted in her death three months later in March 1992.[2] Her final Roy of the Rovers strip was published in the Star on 17th January 1992.
