Together with David Law and Ken Reid, he innovated the genre in the 1950s through their work for DC Thomson's The Beano. Baxendale created two of the magazine's longest-running and most beloved series: 'Minnie the Minx' and 'The Bash Street Kids', both dealing with misbehaving children.
Willy the Kid (1976-1978), a comic story about a little boy and his thrilling adventures. Contrary to his previous work, this comic wasn't serialized in a magazine, but published directly in three annual books by Gerald Duckworth and Company.
