Details of the Matt Marriott strip are sparse and a complete listing of stories in their original appearance (in the London Evening News) has never been produced. A certain amount of information about early strips can be derived from ADCCC reprints. Titles weren't printed in the paper but Tony Weare wrote story titles onto the scrapbooks he kept of the strips.Thanks to Domingos Isabelinho I also have a list of the later 'Matt Marriott' stories that appeared in Portugal. Domingos has very kindly translated the titles into English but I've bracketed them in the list below.

Incidentally, since mentioning Jim Edgar in a previous post, I've found a note that John M. Burns drew the last episodes of 'Matt Marriott' for the Evening News in 1977 before reviving 'Danielle' for the same paper, briefly, in 1978.
