Billy Bunter had a long career at Fleetway. He began in hugely popular text stories and then went on to further fame as a purely slapstick character in the pages of Knockout and Valiant, where his depiction was almost totally unrelated to his original conception. The strips that appeared in Comet take us firmly back to the roots that established the popularity of the characters: exciting dramatic adventures featuring not only Billy Bunter but also the cast of other Greyfriars characters. This volume comprises the very best of the Comet Billy Bunter dramatic strips, including all those drawn by Reg Bunn ('The Famous Five') and C.H. Chapman ('Greyfriars School' and 'Bunter of Greyfriars') that most admirers would consider the pick of the crop, or as Billy Bunter might say, the icing on the cake⦠(immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels

With its unique blend of art and insight, it guides you through the stories behind the artists and their art, with features written by some of the leading authorities on this important art form. In issue 53: One of the premier talents of the ligne claire school of illustration, Ted Benoit and his love for US noir combined with a Hergé linear style made for some of the most memorable comic art of the late 20th century. Continuing the ligne claire approach to illustration we look at the work of two US-based illustrators, Patrick Léger and Jack Richardson. Next, our founding editor, Peter Richardson delves into the story of Funny Business, one of the UK's most controversial artist's agents.

Western TV shows, films and comic strips were hugely popular in the UK in the 1950s and 1960s and the two most popular British weekly comic strips were Buffalo Bill in The Comet and Billy the Kid in The Sun. Don Lawrence drew these action-packed stories full of brilliant Western art before he went on to draw Olac the Gladiator, Karl the Viking, The Trigan Empire, and Storm to international acclaim. Collected in book form for the first time ever, Book Palace Books is proud to present all 17 Billy the Kid stories from The Sun comic, four tales from The Lion and one adventure from Thriller Picture Library, all drawn in the late 1950s by the world-renowned Lawrence.

You'd better bathe in garlic, grab a crucifix and wrap up warm, for this most spooktacular, edition of illustrators. This 200 page festival of fright delves into the darkest recesses of EC lore with an in-depth look at the life of the most reclusive of the EC gang-as EC scholar Grant Geissman describes Graham Ingels-'Mr Horror Himself.' Further light is shed by the reminiscences of fan and fellow EC scholar Don Vaughan as well as Ann Tyler, who attended Ingels classes during the period when he was tutoring painters. For Warren fans (and we know there are many of you out there) we have a contribution from J. David Spurlock, in a feature about Basil and David's friendship with the great man. And from the UK we have Shane Oakley. Once seen, never forgotten-that's Shane's art in a nutshell. Grab yourself a copy of the Illustrators Halloween Spooktacular, plump up your coffin pillow, shake out the worms and maggots from your shroud, and snuggle down for the ultimate fright-fest!

Working in a style dear to him and heavy with uncompromising improvisation, this sketchbook weaves between casual and intense graphic styles and was drawn by Moebius between 1997 and 2009. The protagonist of this pseudo-historical story, Major Grubert, evolves both philosophically and humouristically in a context echoing the brilliant 'Inside Moebius' series. Taking another journey through the fabulous web like world of the Airtight Garage, several guest appearances are slipped between the pages of this book, including the likes of Lorenzo Mattotti, François Avril, André Juillard, William Vance, Sylvio Cadelo, as well as Isabelle Giraud and their children, Raphaël and Nausicaä.

In the 1950s Western comic strips dominated British comics and one of the finest were the Buffalo Bill Cody, Chief of the Scouts to General Custer's 7th Cavalry at Fort Abraham Lincoln in Dakota Territory, which featured in The Comet from 1953 to 1959. Here we present some of the finest pen and ink work by Jesus Blasco from 1954 and 1955. Unusually for that time the Indian adversaries were conveyed with understanding and admiration.

Bob Fingerman is an indie cartoonist who Harvey Kurtzman discovered amongst his students and realised here was someone who actually knew how to draw! Fingerman has worked for just-about every major and minor comics and magazine publication in the US, and while artists like Dan Clowes and Peter Bagge achieved greater visibility, Fingerman's work is of equal merit. Hans Kresse was one of the greatest comic strip artists you have never heard of, coming all the way from The Netherlands. It's a shame that nobody remembers him anymore. Although he was published all over the world-it was during the 1950s and 1960s-and that might be why nobody remembers him anymore, as comics once read back then were trashed afterwards and nobody gave a hoot as to who the artists were (although Kresse worked until the 1990s). A prolific artist, he even made it to British shores, so here we do justice to an artist who should be up there among giants. (immagine) Categoria: Magazines
