Reg Parlett (2 August 1904 - 18 November 1991) was an artist from England. Born in London, his father Harry was also an artist, as would Reg's older brother George later be.
His first work appeared in the Merry and Bright comic in 1926, and he would later go on to do comic strips for comics such as Funny Wonder, Radio Fun, Film Fun, Knockout, Buster, Whizzer and Chips, Cor!!, Whoopee!, Jackpot and Wow!. In the late 1940s Parlett was also a writer and artist for J. Arthur Rank's GB Animation 'Animaland' cartoons. Such was his popularity that the 2 August 1984 issue of Buster celebrated his 80th birthday, and a 1989 issue of Big Comic Fortnightly celebrated his 85th.
A book titled The Comic Art of Reg Parlett (ISBN 0-9511214-0-5) was released on 10 November 1986 by Alan Clark.
