The Silent Three (originally The Silent Three of St. Kit's) was a British comic strip published in the girls' comics magazine School Friend[1] from 1950 to 1963,[2] written by Horace Boyten and Stewart Pride, and originally illustrated by Evelyn Flinders.[3] Three schoolgirls at St. Kit's boarding school, Betty Roland (mask #1), Joan Derwent (mask #2) and Peggy West (mask #3), banded together as a secret society against the tyranny of the head prefect, later also fighting crime wearing numbered masks and hooded green robes.[4] In 1977 Posy Simmonds drew a weekly strip for The Guardian entitled The Silent Three of St Botolph's in tribute.
