In 1953, he went to work for Western Publishing and illustrated stories for the wide variety of comics published by Western for Dell Comics, and later for Western's own Gold Key Comics line. His first notable work was on ''Brothers of the Spear'', a backup feature, created by Gaylord Du Bois in the ''Tarzan'' comic book. He also drew a few Tarzan stories. He created Gold Key's ''Magnus Robot Fighter'' in 1963 and drew the first 21 issues, through 1968.
From 1965 to 1969, Manning drew Gold Key's ''Tarzan'' series. During this time, he adapted ten of the first eleven Tarzan novels written by Edgar Rice Burroughs, from scripts written by Gaylord Du Bois. (The adaptation of the sixth, ''Jungle Tales of Tarzan'', also scripted by Du Bois, was drawn by Alberto Giolitti rather than Manning). In 1999, the first seven of these were reprinted in three graphic novels by Dark Horse Comics as ''Edgar Rice Burroughs' Tarzan of the Apes'' (''Tarzan of the Apes'', ''Return'', ''Beasts'', and ''Son of Tarzan''), ''Edgar Rice Burroughs' Tarzan — The Jewels of Opar'', and ''Edgar Rice Burroughs' Tarzan The Untamed'' (''Tarzan the Untamed'' and ''Tarzan the Terrible''). Manning's remaining adaptations, not reprinted by Dark Horse, were "Tarzan and the Golden Lion" ''Tarzan and the Ant Men'' and ''Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle''. He did not do the finished art for the latter, but provided lay-outs for parts of the story. Manning also drew the Korak stories in the first 11 issues of Gold Key's ''Korak'' comic (also written by Du Bois).
From 1969 to 1972 he did the ''Tarzan'' daily newspaper strip, and stayed on the Sunday page until 1979. He also created four original Tarzan graphic novels for European publication. Two of them have recently been reprinted by Dark Horse Comics in a single trade paperback collection (''Tarzan in The Land That Time Forgot'' and ''The Pool of Time'') (ISBN 1-56971-151-8). During that period he used assistants, among them William Stout, Rick Hoberg, Mike Royer, and Dave Stevens.
''Magnus'', his and Gold Key's best-known heroic-adventure series, was set in the year 4000, which Manning depicted as clean, airy cityscapes populated by shiny robots, handsome men and beautiful women. In an era when many science fiction illustrations showed interstellar spaceships with antique-looking fins reminiscent of V-2 rockets of World War II, Manning offered more exotic craft. His Magnus work is being reprinted in hardcover 'archive' editions by Dark Horse Comics with a different color palette.
His final major work was writing and drawing the ''Star Wars'' newspaper strip in 1979-80. This work has been collected by Dark Horse Comics as ''Classic Star Wars: The Early Adventures'' (ISBN 1-56971-178-X), which omitted the fact that Manning only drew some of the episodes that were written by Steve Gerber and Archie Goodwin. He died December 1, 1981.
The Russ Manning Most Promising Newcomer Award, which is presented annually at Comic-Con International during the Eisner Awards, is named after him.

notable role | Russell Owen in ''Hollyoaks'' }} |
He is best known for the role of Russ Owen in the British Channel 4 soap opera ''Hollyoaks'', which he played from 2004 until 2009.
Before ''Hollyoaks'', he had a part on the ITV soap opera ''Night and Day'' playing Sam Armstrong alongside ''Hollyoaks'' ex-cast member, Kevin Sacre. Manning won the 2002 British Soap Awards "Hero of the Year" award for that role. Before being on screen as an actor he appeared on the Channel 4 reality dating show ''Streetmate'' in episode 9 of season 3; he failed to find true love.
Stuart has an older brother, Jim Manning.
It was announced on digitalspy on April 3, 2009, that he had decided to quit the soap after five years. He left the series in an emotional storyline that saw him kidnap his baby son Max and hold him ransom.
On November 12, 2009 it was announced on the digital spy website that Stuart would be taking part in series 9 of British reality TV series I'm a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!
He also told interviewers that he planned to start a film career in the USA in 2010. Manning said that he has been offered the help of ex-campmate, George Hamilton, to get him on the right track for his future film and TV career. Nothing has come of this, and Stuart is now considering his options.
Stuart managed 19 days in the jungle before being voted out on December 2, 2009. He came in 5th place, and told Ant & Dec that he wanted Gino D'Acampo, with whom he had developed a 'bromance', to win and become King of The Jungle. He and Gino were charged with animal cruelty after killing and eating a rat, the killing of animals for performance being illegal. The rat was delicious, according to the campmates.
Manning is currently appearing in the New Wolsey Theatre, Ipswich and Oldham Coliseum's production of A Passionate Woman.
